WINS Manager provides backup tools so that you can back up the WINS database. After you specify a backup directory for the database, WINS performs complete database backups every 24 hours, using the specified directory.
Windows NT proposes a subdirectory of the \WINS directory. You can accept this proposed directory. The most secure location is to back up the database on another hard disk. Do not back up to a network drive, because WINS Manager cannot restore from a network source.
Note You must have performed a complete backup before this option can be used successfully.
You should also periodically back up the Registry entries for the WINS server.
..SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WINS
