Are Application Partitions stored in Active Directory? Are they backed up with the system state? Can they be restored with the system state?

Yep. Systemstate on an DC backs up AD. Something very important to do because then you can use that to restore a user account that was deleted by mistake or something like that.Decide what to be and go be it. -

I was referring to the importance of backing up AD for the Domain partition which does store the user accounts. I misread your post, sorry.Decide what to be and go be it.
