Windows XP - NTuser.dat Sharing Violation

[Marvin Gloven]

I used to routinely backup up my data (Documents and Settings) from one
internal hard drive to another using xcopy c:*.* d: /s /e /m in a batch
file.

It worked fine for months, but now I get NTuser.dat Sharing Violation, and
the batch file aborts.

How do I resolve this?

Thanks

Marvin

Marvin,

NTUSER.DAT is the user registry file and it's locked when you're logged-on.
Skip that file or slave the drive to another system and copy the contents
(if needed).

Additional Note:
You may try "ERUNT" - Registry backup tool:
