SUMMARY:
Backing up Wins and DHCP database files.
DETAILS:
DHCP
Whenever the DHCP service shuts down correctly, it makes a backup copy of both the database file (Dhcp.mdb) and the registry key. The backup information from the registry is contained in the file Dhcpcfg. For Windows NT 3.51, the file Dhcp.mdb is located in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp\Backup\Jet folder.
In Windows NT 4.0, the file Dhcp.mdb is located in the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp\Backup\Jet\New folder.
Both versions of Windows NT store the Dhcpcfg file in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp\Backup folder. Make sure these dhcp backup files are getting backed up successfully.
Wins
Database Backup Path - specifies the location for the backup of the WINS database. If you specify a path, WINS automatically performs a full backup of its database to the Wins_bak folder within this folder every 24 hours. Do not specify a network drive. WINS uses this location to automatically restore the database in the event that the database is found to be corrupted when WINS is started.
NOTE: The Database Backup Path option will not automatically back up your WINS database every 24 hours until the WINS service has been stopped and started.
