How would I backup the Domain information, mainly the domain user information. In other words which files should I target for the backup.

There is not a way to just backup the files regarding the Domain User Account Information?

RDISK /S will make an ERD disk with the SAM on it.

An ERD disk will not contain enough information if you have a large number of usings.

You need to do a backup of your PDC.

Installed a BDC on your network if possible.

Good point Kjonnnn.

But the repair info should still be saved under %systemroot%\repair (can't remember full path) so it will be accessible when repairing from NT CDROM.

No replacement to a full system backup though.
