Can Recovery Manager for AD be used to backup and restore an Enterprise Certificate Authority? (4225625)

RMAD is not intended to be used as generic backup tool. RMAD, as part of the System State, backs up the Certificate Services Database local to each DC. The backup of the Certificate Services Database is performed so that it can be restored as part of a System State restore when using the Repair Wizard (Offline Restore). It cannot be used to restore Enterprise Certificates or an Enterprise Certificate Authority.

If the certificates are stored in Active Directory, RMAD does back them up as part of backing up the entire NTDS.dit file. RMAD does not have an explicit option to backup up Enterprise Certificates or Certificate Authorities.
