SBS 2003 or R2 can be recovered, repaired, or replaced without impact to the domain using only a Full Server and System State restore via the included SBS Backup program.
More options can be better All remaining discussion on this topic relates more to risk mitigation, or faster recovery time. Application tuned incremental recovery options exist. Drive Imaging or 3rd Party Backup products are best viewed as optional, but valuable.

Its Best to Build Clean New Domain if SBS is too Dirty to Fix?
Myths: System Repair Options
This likely will lead to reconfiguration on all PCs Workstation impact of new domain must be considered. Actual corruption of Active Directory is rare and generally should not be assumed. assumed. Saving the AD domain is almost always the preferable course, and it isnt hard. MisMis-configured Group Policies make for bizarre behavior Group Policies are typically simple to repair or replace, but this is widely misunderstood. Applications and databases can be moved as data

And yet this is not only possible, its actually quite an interesting project if you have two hours to spare. But as often as not, its not even required.

Replica DC but it has no Sysvol (therefore non-functional), so does That nonMean a Scratch Rebuild is Only Option or Could that be Fixed?
Actually, theres really no reason to rebuild from scratch if you have the NTDS folder itself intact, even if the Sysvol is missing. Crisis Resolution Magic Rebuilding Sysvol is definitely a better alternative to rebuilding domain from scratch.

Few SBS domains have customized Group Policies so reinstall SBS setup to restore the policies.

Graveyard Swing Migration Disaster Recovery with a Server That Wont Even Boot?
You can recover Active Directory from a Domain Controller, even if it has a severely damaged software or system registry and therefore wont boot, if only to save the AD and build a replacement server in the same domain.
