After implementing AD I have one very important
question...

Exactly what kind of data is replicated between DC's. In
my case I run a web server, and would (if possible) like
to have web content (data in the wwwroot folder<s>) to
replicate between the DC's as well.

Is this scenario possible at all?

If not how/what software, backup scheme etc. can I look
at in order to be certain that web content will always be
at two locations for backup, and redundancy measures?

Thank you in advance!
 
If you are referring to file replication. By default the content of the
sysvol folder is replicated between domain controllers. Sysvol folder is
used for storing group policies, scripts, etc... To have a custom folder
replicated among various DC's you have to look in File Replication Service,
where you can have many shares replicating to different servers. I must
admit, that I haven't tested this for web application, but I don't see why
it wouldn't work. You must just make sure, that appropriate permissions are
set on folders.
