OK. I think I am beginning to understand (I don't know much about
Windows).
Could you just clarify that I am understanding correctly ;)
- It seems like all the files that I wasn't able to back up because
they are "locked" are actually critical things like the Registry
(i.e. NTUSER.DAT)
- NTBackup uses VSS to dump these locked files to a readable file
- You then use BackupPC to backup that file.
Is there any reason I couldn't add a command to run NTBackup to my
"DumpPreUserCmd" and have it write out the backup file to a fixed
place on my windows machine?
Also, I assume I could just write the file to the Windows machine
itself so that BackupPC would pick it up automatically.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Thanks
