Backing up user's Docs & Settings

G

Guest

I want to be able to backup a users Docs & Settings when they logoff at the
end of the day. I am unable to copy the ntuser.dat because it is in use. I
am using xcopy to copy the directory to the backup server.

So ...
Is there some way to make it possible to copy the ntuser.dat?
Is there an xcopy command that will allow me to skip the ntuser.dat file?
Are there any other files that I should be aware of that will present a
problem as well?

Thanks!

Type 'xcopy /?' at any command prompt and look at the '/EXCLUDE' and '/C' options.
