Backing Up the WINS Database

The database can be backed up automatically when WINS shuts down. You also can schedule backups or manually start a backup. All these backups are copied to the backup directory specified in the Advanced Configuration options. You can manually start a WINS backup from the Mappings menu in the WINS Manager. To automatically schedule backups, configure the path for a backup directory. After you set this path, the WINS server automatically backs itself up every 24 hours.

You should also back up the WINS subkey in the registry. This subkey has the configuration settings for WINS, but does not contain any entries from the WINS database. The regular backup for WINS makes a copy of the database itself.

To back up the WINS registry subkey, use the NT registry editor, REGEDT32. Then backup the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WINS subkey. You can save this subkey in the same location you store the WINS database backups.
