you need proceed following:

  1. make left dc point primary dns server , 127.0.0.1 secondary one
  2. run netdom query fsmo to check if lost dc holder of fsmo roles. if yes, need size them left dc: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504/
  3. do metadata cleanup: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/cc816907(v=ws.10).aspx
  4. make sure dhcp configuration , static ip configuration on servers / computers have no longer pointing lost dc dns server

once have new server available, need promote new dc / dns / gc server , update ip , dhcp settings use new dc secondary dns server.

for backups, please note important drp take system state backups using ad aware backup solution periodically.
