troubleshooting Question
Backing up Active Directory
asked on
I'm trying to backup Active Directory on two Server 2012 domain controllers.
I tried using Arcserve backup software, but when I run a test restore (from Arcserve) the System State folder and sub folders are empty. Not sure if I need an agent for Arcserve to backup Active Directory.
Can I backup Active Directory running on the Server 2012 domain controllers using Windows backup and then backup the Windows backup file to tape using Arcserve? Would I be able to restore Active Directory from the Windows backup in the event that both domain controllers went down?
Thanks,
cja
