Hi guy's, just wondering how do you backup active directory? do you
need a special plug-in for your backup software.

I am using Tivoli Storage Manager 5.1

What should be backed up?

Thanks for the insight
 
I'm not sure about Tivoli, but most new backup programs (including nt
backup) have an option for System State, either to be included with a full
backup or as a separate part of it (this is the active directory).
The following will give you more info;

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328150

the system state includes;
- Active Directory

- The boot files

- The COM+ class registration database

- The registry

- The system volume (Sysvol)

Never heard of the backup software. but it should give you the option to
backup the system state. This is all you need to backup for AD.

In the event that you only want to backup the System State and not perform
a complete backup, the following article outlines the procedure (it's also
included as a link at the bottom of the article that Dbrandt provided):
