    Would it be wise to take a system state backup of servers that are not domain controllers?

    Hi Dennis,

    In some cases yes, but this really depends on the recover objective of your servers. An example of when you would want to use system state protection for a non-domain controller server would be a web server running IIS. System state is going to protect IIS components as a part of the system state. Note that you would still need to protect the website directories on an IIS web server outside of the system state backup. Here is a good tutorial on System State: http://www.datamills.com/Tutorials/systemstate/tutorial.htm
