You back up active directory by doing a system state backup with either windows back up or a third party backup provider (e.g. Symantec backup exec). When you perform a system state backup the ntds.dit file is backed up and the ntds.dit file is the file which active directory is stored in. It is not possible to just backup the ntds.dit file you must do a system state back up.
