Active directory restore

[charles]

Is it possible to only restore active directory and not
the system state as well - i ask this becaus I have backed
up the system state ( which includes the AD ) on a domain
controller and want to restore it on a different
make/model of server in a disaster recovery site - Nt
backup will not let me restore just the AD - it appears as
if you must select the entire system state - I did this
and as expected the server hung ( i presume this was
because the system state holds the registry etc. of the
original server)???

Mmany thanks for previous help

If you toggle from Origonal Location to Alternate Location, you can then move
the files.
