We use TSM to backup AD.  We have done many test restores of AD and bare
metal restores of Domain Controllers. (We even did a real world restore when
one admin deleted an OU.)

We also do MS "system state" backups of Domain Controllers to Disk for added
insurance.  So we have 2 ways of recovering AD - MS Restore of System State
from Disk (or from TSM) and TSM restore of AD from System Objects.

Subject: TSM and Active directory

        I was wondering if anyone out there has had experience with backing
up active directories. The NT people here are looking
      to go this route, and asked me about using TSM with this. They
remember the problems we had with the NT2000
      and system objects. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.


      Thanks
