How to create/restore dsadata.bak?

[NRaygun]

I get an error on my Win2K server on boot:
lsass.exe - System Error : Security Accounts Manager initialization failed because of the following error: Directory Service cannot start. Error Status: 0xc00002e1. Please click OK to shutdown this system and reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, check the event log for more detailed information

Upon checking MS Knowledge base, it says to check some files using ndsutil. One of the files it refers to, dsadata.bak, is not present.

Does anyone know what "dsadata.bak" is and how to create it or restore it?
