I have a 2008 R2 domain controller. I don't use the windows backup. I have a full image of the server using Appassure backups, so I can restore individual files.
I know I have to boot into Directory Services Restore Mode, but what files do I need to manually restore to the server from my backup to restore the Active Directory database to a previous date?
Do I just copy the contents of the %windir%\NTDS and %windir%\sysvol\sysvol from my backup and overwrite the same folders on the server? Or is there more to it than that? I can only find info on restoring active directory using the system state backup from windows backup.
