Best method of backing up Active Directory ?

Is it better to use Veritas Backup Exec or the native NT Backup to backup
the Active Directory ?

thanks for any insight.

Either one is fine - Veritas has a nicer interface, but NTBackup (w/system
state selected as well as all relevant files/folders) is fine. Do a verify
in each job to make sure it's running properly.

Make sure you are using SP2 or greater. And test the backup\restore
proceedure
