NTbackup skipping active files

[kkingston]

Hi;
I have scheduled a full backup of my nt 4 server with the at command. There are several files that are skipped ie. inetpub\*.* files, winnt\netlogon.chg, and winnt\system32\wins\*.* files. How serious is this and will it render my backup unusable? I don't know what services these files are tied to or I would stop them before the backup and restart them after.
I have been looking all over and cannot find an answer.
Thanx

The WINS files can be rebuilt. The NETLOGON.CHG I am not sure about. The INETPUB is any files for WEB PAGES. IF you are running web services, those would be a problem. You would stop the w3 service prior to backup.

I found a great utility I used at the command prompt and redirected to a file on c:
ie., sclist >> c:\sclist.txt
It showed all of the services installed on my server, their key names, and whether or not they were running.
I hope that this can help someone else out.
Thanx for your help.

Where did you get the utility? Can you check a remote server?

I am interested in this!

Hi;

Shows currently running services, stopped services, or all services on a local or remote computer.

It is one of the Tools in the Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit Supplement 4

sclist /? will give you the details.
