backup local profile

[Guest john454]

Is there an easy quick way to backup local profiles (C:\Documents and

Settings\local profile) across the network without having to reboot

and log on with a different ID?

 

When I try and just copy/paste the profile to a network drive, I

always get the message files are in use, even though all applications

are closed. I'm assuming they are system files that are in use, but

I'm hoping there is a way to quickly back it up as we have 4 computers

in the house and I backup the profiles off each of the 4 pcs to our

version of a "server".

 

Thank you

Try windows Backup and Restore to Backup and Restore all users Documents and

settings.

I did try the windows backup/restore but noticed that no matter how

many files selected, it compresses all of them into a single backup

file.

 

Is there a program that does volume shadow copies so that you can copy

a local profile while still logged on with that profile that will also

make a file by file copy and not compress the backup into a single

file?
