NTDS - Backup ?

[Sharad Naik]

Hello,

I moved the AD Log file using NTDSUTIL, under DSRM. When I did this, it
gave me warning, to takeup the backup immediately, otherwise restore will
continue to point to the old log path.

I tried help in NTDSUTIL prompt about how to take up this backup, but didn't
get a clue.

Can someone please help, how to backup NTDS?

Thanks in advance,

Sharad

Thanks Ace, the link you gave is for moving the log files/ DB. I wanted to
know how to backup after the log file or DB is moved.

However, just I came to know that NTDS backup is nothing but backing up
System State and SYSVOL folder, through system tools -> backup.
I confused myself that NTDS backup was something else, and posted the
question here.
