In general that's fine if all you care about is being able to recreate a failed DC (after hardware failure or bad system update). It's no use in protecting you against user/sysadmin error where you make large, but unwanted changes to your directory (like accidentally deleting 200 users) and you want to reset it to the previous day's state. 

If your second DC is offsite it might form part of your disaster recovery plan.
