MessageI had this too at home a few years back, but figured two DCs were
better for all practical purposes. Especially since I got a used dell
dimension P3/666 with 512M ram oldie-box (1ry DC) and an homebrewed Amd
Athlon/1200 with 512M also (2ry). These servers run the AD, some ftp-servers
and also act as my backups for digital images and stuff. Over the years the
amd-server has accumulated harddrives to rival our dept DCs! I believe the
2ry server alone hosts some six or so ide-type harddrives and approx 600GB
of total hd-space... 8-/
Your strategy implies you don't do or change anything too often to your AD.
Myself, I'm sort of mirroring the dept setup with DCs, AD and software
deployments (most notably servicepacks and new office versions) before I
roll them out IRL at the dept. I found this way I'm saving myself quite a
few gray hairs... 8-)

I have just one DC running, but I have a virtual hard drive file backed up
that has a DC installation on it. I reckon this is ample for home!

The best bet, for starters, is to at all times have two DCs running, no
exceptions.
The next level/step is dependent on the person you ask. 8-)
