Re: how to backup users profiles?

Users sometime won't write all data to server, plus working on data may slow.
Since we don't like roaming profile, then Boss likes to backup profiles from
each workstations to server.

Vista client doesn't work well for c:\users (other folders are fine).

I can't ask user log off, then backup script doesn't work;
Vista's backup tool can't backup folders;
old NTBACKUP doesn't support volume shadow copy on Vista (alway skip
files).

Is there any other ways?

I'm confused - you have a domain and a central server, what is there to back
up on the workstations? Surely you don't leave data on the workstations?
