realized Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 With NT backup i am wanting to backup the following. I think System State does what i want but i am not sure.I would like to backup GPO's, and AD permissions including users/passwords.I would like to backup some data folders. (easy part).Basicly if something goes wrong i plan to restore my server, recover the data folers that i need, and restore the system state. Will this get all my user/passwords, gpo's, and AD settings back up in tact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tguy Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 SystemState backups will not give you what you are looking for. While Group Policy settings are backed up with a SystemState backup, you would need to use the Group Policy Management Console to do a backup/restore. Or you could use Recovery Manager for Active Directory from Quest Software. (I recommend this product!)As for users/passwords they are not backed up with a SystemState backup. Again, you would need to use Recovery Manager.. to recover an individual account.Check out the tool at http://www.quest.comGood luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 As for users/passwords they are not backed up with a SystemState backup.Yes they are.http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServe...6da0791033.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tguy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I stand corrected. I read/interpreted the post the wrong way. If you are backing up the SystemState on a DC then the AD database, with usernames and passwords is included.My bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
