System State Components for the Windows File System

The types of restores that you can perform for system state data depends on whether the data is a component or a service.

Data category	Components/Services	Types of restores that you can perform
Components	System file protection catalog and files Performance monitor configuration files Active Directory Quotas SYSVOL (if this is a domain controller) Certificate Services database (if this is a certificate server) Cluster database (if this server is part of a cluster) Registry COM+ database File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)	If you are restoring all the components, you can perform an in-place restore or an out-of-place restore. If you are restoring individual components, you can perform only an out-of-place restore.
Services	DHCP WINS Event logs Disk quota information RSM database WMI database Terminal Server Licensing database Content indexing catalogs	You can restore all services (except the Content Indexing catalogs) together or individually to an in-place, or an out-of-place destination. Content Indexing Catalog service will be included when you restore the entire system state but cannot be restored individually.
