I think your biggest problem is that some files (DHCP, maybe DNS if
not AD integrated) will be locked. Unless you're using a backup
program capable of backing up open files you'll miss these if you
don't shut down those services first.

Then as long as you back up the System State and all the files and
check for errors after the job completes you should be fine.

as the DNS and DHCP server in a domain. It also is a file server. This
server is running out of space and need to add drives and redo its
raid configuration. If I chose 'back-up everything' on the windows
backup utility on a tape, will everything (including AD,DNS,DHCP
function) return to normal operation after reformating the
server,install windows, and restore from the tape? Pls advise and
Thanks.
