Where is the Active Directory?

Active directory does not reside on any one domain controller, but rather collectively across the domain controllers. It is a good idea to backup the system state of the entire team of domain controllers concerned when backing up active directory, but excludes the relative ID (RID) master domain controller. Missing one of the domain controllers can result in you being unable to restore the active directory. It is vital that no one else is able to add domain controllers to your domain controller work team. The diagram above represents a computer that has been selected to be backed up using a popular backup package. Note the system state is available for backing up.
