ntdsutil (included with Windows Server) is plenty capable of doing backups and restores of AD data. Microsoft has lengthy documentation on the subject, including how to properly prepare and what to do when the feces hit the oscillator.
A few documentation links:
Active Directory is mature, well-understood and well-supported. MS will answer the phone at 3:00 am when you call. While FOSS alternatives have come a long way, many are still under heavy active (ha, ha) development.
Questions you should be asking yourself:
Who will maintain this when I'm gone?
Does this solution offer 24/7/365 phone support? (If you don't have a phone support contract, MS will usually charge you $250 if the issue is your fault, and $0 if the issue is a bug in their software. (IANA MS rep, YMMV))
One more question: Why not just combine the two AD forests into one tree, with the student account domain as a child domain of the teachers' domain? (There are many other arrangements here that may better fit your needs.)
You can't fix everyone else's access points, but you can change yours. As several people have mentioned, 5Ghz may be the way to go. 5Ghz offers considerably more (usable!) channels than 2.4 Ghz. Combined with 802.11n channel widths, you should be able to get plenty of bandwidth anywhere in your house.
"WPA2-only" mode. Combined with a good password, this should keep out nearly all undesirables.
Transmit power adjustment (low/med/high). No need to broadcast at high power if all you need is low or medium. Lower power = lower chance of interference to others, lower chance of discovery by sniffers.
This is their cheap-end stuff, but it will do Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multi-Point. I've worked with it up to 6 miles over land. 60Mbps theorhetical throughput, 30-50mbps can be had with multiple TCP connections. It can run on the 2.4, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.8Ghz bands.
Proxim has stuff that will do strict point-to-point up to 1.5Gbps on the unlicensed 60 Ghz spectrum
Telematics is the transmission of data communications between systems and devices. OnStar's in-vehicle safety, security, and information services use Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite
and cellular technology to link the vehicle and driver to the OnStar Center.
From the images on the linked page, the cellular antenna appears to be mounted at the top-rear of the vehicle.
The sad truth is that those who would have the ability to live 1000 years are just the type of people we don't want to have around.
Frankly put, we, as a society are not mature enough to be able to deal with this gift. Just as you do not give diamond rings to two-year-olds, this gift is beyond humankind's current ability to grasp.
* Cut sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions by 73 percent, from current emissions of 11 million tons to a cap of 4.5 million tons in 2010, and 3 million tons in 2018.
* Cut emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 67 percent, from current emissions of 5 million tons to a cap of 2.1 million tons in 2008, and to 1.7 million tons in 2018.
* Cutting mercury emissions by 69 percent, - the first-ever national cap on mercury emissions. Emissions will be cut from current emissions of 48 tons to a cap of 26 tons in 2010, and 15 tons in 2018.
Ever notice that all of these dates are *after* Bush leaves office? Meaning that he can sit around, drill for oil in the ANWR, roll back emissions controls for auto manufacturers, sell off public forest to the highest bidder, and generally pollute the environment while touting his "Environmental Side". Funny how that works:)
As other posters have mentioned, software raid is fine for RAID 0, 1, 0+1. As you get to RAID 3,RAID 5, and RAID 6, however, your processing requirements go up quite a bit.
A SATA RAID 5 card with hardware XOR engine and a DIMM slot for cache might be a cost-effective option for you. (Goes for ~$180 on Pricewatch, or ~$240 on Dealtime)
Oh, and I would have goine with HGST, Western Digital, or Seagate for your drives... but I suppose hardware failure is what RAID 5 is for:)
This is *exactly* what keeps me from recommending FF to corporate clients. If you can't keep the user from adjusting their proxy settings or screwing with trusted domains, you will be doing more work and they will be doing less as time goes by.
Next time, leave the "lens cap" on. I know the experience will be less enjoyable, but the cap will keep you safe from previously "inconceivable" problems:)

Also, you do know that ntbackup.exe is "a VSS aware backup program," right? Bonus: It's included at no charge from Microsoft.
In short, RTFM and STFU.
