Discussion Question 1:

Your company recently experienced an AD failure right before you came onboard that they were unable to recover from. The new CEO, Chantell Martin, is aware that the disaster caused the preceding CEO to lose his job, and wants you to come up with a viable plan using built in Windows tools to schedule daily backups of the Active Directory database. Some of the questions she needs you to consider as you write the backup policy are:

What Windows tools should be utilized?

What files and directories should be backed up? 

What should be the procedure for restoring the backups?

Feel free to elaborate on the policy or the technical details.

The CEO is counting on you to have a good plan for backing up AD.
