I would like to know if there is a (cost free) way to backup Windows Server 2008 Active Directory and DNS settings without using Windows Server Backup.

The problem stems from not having a seperate volume available to store the resulting backup from Windows Server Backup.

I examined the command line options with wbadmin and it also expects the destination to be a dedicated volume for the backup.
