Virtual Domain controller Backup and restore

Copper Contributor

Hi All,

I have 5 DC's and configured in VCenter and all the DC's are backup by Commvault. We do not take system state backup for any DC's, and we take only compete backup. 

 

Please help me with the below questions,

1. Whether full backup is sufficient since we don't have system state backup. 

 

2. As of I know we should not take the snapshot of the domain controller. We are using commvault to back up our domain controllers. As per our backup experts, commvault will take the snapshot of the VM(DC) and Vcenter will take the snapshot the VM(DC) at the time of backup and both snapshot will be consolidated and stored on the designation disk.  Please help me understand, can we restore the DC directly from this type of backup, or we need to take the system state backup.
