Q on Backing UP Domain Controller

I have a FSMO domain controller that is Server2003, SP1, as are all our
servers. It is in a site with two member servers that are not domain
controllers. Both of these are backed up full every night using BE 10.0. I
have a license to do a remote backup of the DC but am not sure what to
select to backup. There are no user files, just AD, DHCP, DNS and the
building print server.

Any advice on selections would be appreciated. I have two other sites with
DC's and AD replicates just fine, they are also DNS servers for the one zone
we use.

Back up the system state and all folders, presuming you have enough
tape/backup media capacity.
