Hi,
I'm after some advice on writing an AD restore plan. We have a single domain forest with 4 2012 DCs at a 2003 domain and functional level. We use Veritase NetBackup which can restore the DC OS with the system state data.

My plan for a non authoritative restore is to use the above, but if an authoritative restore is needed, then to additionally use ntdsutil:
- Ntdsutil
- Activate instance ntds
- Authoritative restore
- Restore database
- Once finished “quit”
We have 6000 users in a single AD site. Would the above be a feasible restore method?
Thanks
