Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows • Restore primary DC

Hello,
Today I discovered by accident that a client's primary domain controller (physical server) was encrypted.
I have Veeam recovery iso image and daily agent backup.
Let me preface this by saying that I am not an Active Directory expert.

Secondary DC is on VM and it seems that he was not attacked.

The question is whether full system restore restores domain controller functionality or is it better to make installation from scratch, promoting the secondary and join the physical server as new secondary DC.

thanks in advance
Regards
Davide
