Backup question

Is this the place to discuss some backup questions?

I'm working back and forth on 2 computers and have some questions about which files I will need to move.
 
It's either here or the hard drive section, either way though a mod/admin will move it if they feel it needs to be moved.

What's your question?
 
the NTUSER.DAT file is in use when I try to copy my user/michael folder to a backup drive.

Should I be backing this up? And, if so, how?
 
nah you dont need to, that is user settings it will get recreated on your new computer.

if you wanted to copy it you would need to log in as another user (administrator account of some sort) and copy it.

Sorry I took a hiatus

ntuser.dat is basically your user profile's settings, i just figure dont copy it over and just recreate your settings which is usually a 5 minute process. a ntuser.man file is kind of the same thing only it is mandatory used in large corporations usually to keep a short leash on users profiles.
