It is not reccomended to backup a VM running as a DC using vstorage api's as it can cause all sorts of issues like AD corruption! Microsoft do not support this either http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888794
We tried this and the domain controllers pause for a split second and it made them not work correctly afterwards!

I'd use two backup approach.
One, full backup for DR purpose using VMDK with Full-Mapped-VM type of backup
Second, backup of Shadow Copy Components with client inside VM for GRT, and/or system state purpose.
