An therefore you cannot have true redundancy. You are at the mercy of
restoring from your last backup. This is the last thing that still prevents
me from moving my real world users and their computers to the SBS server. If
the server goes down the business is dead in the water until the server can
be restored, because without the domain controller the client computers are
seriously crippled.
