Tombstone Lifetime
To ensure a good backup you should be aware of the tombstone lifetime. The tombstone lifetime is the number of days before a deleted
object is removed from the directory services. A backup that is older than the tombstone lifetime (the default is 60 days) set in Active
Directory is not a good backup. At a minimum, perform at least two backups within the tombstone lifetime. Active Directory incorporates
the tombstone lifetime into the backup and restore process as a means of protecting itself from inconsistent data.
