TSM and Active Directory

[itdrew]

Can anyone give any pointers/advice on using TSM to backup active Directory? I'm not sure where to begin.



Thanks,

Sorry for not being more specific. I know that to backup AD you must backup the system state of the local machine to the local machine because Microsoft only supports backing up the System State to a local machine without third party software. Plus, you must back it up to an NTFS filesystem. So my question is two fold.



1) When I back up the system state to a file on an NTFS partition, can I then back up that file using TSM running on an AIX server?



or



2) What third party software can I use, to back up the system state of a Win2k server to TSM running on AIX.



Thanks again,
