I'm looking through the NW Disaster Recovery guide, and it speaks of how 
to do a Windows ASR (Automatic System Recovery) - basically, install 
Winowd, and do a restore of the "System State"; that will put Windows 
completely back to the way it was at the time of the backup. And I've even 
done that once before, and it worked well.

But what about an Active Directory restore? Doing a restore of the AD 
domain (authoratative or non-authoratative) is a bit more serious than 
just restoring a Windows member server back to a previous state, so you 
have all files and installed programs and settings.

I'm not seeing anything in the NW Disaster Recovery guide that seems to 
speak about that.  But maybe my guide is out of date, since it is for NW 
7.3.2. Is there something more recent? Or something geared more 
specifically toward Windows AD domains?

Has anyone done an AD restore using NetWorker? Eespecially an 
authoratative restore. All the examples I am finding speak of using 
NTBACKUP to backup and restore AD. A link or a recounting of your 
experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
