SYMPTOMS
If you run Ntbackup.exe with the /b switch to backup the local registry, the %SystemRoot\System32\Config folder is backed up correctly. However, the Profiles folder is not backed up.
CAUSE
Windows NT 4.0 moved the registry to the Profiles folder. The graphical user interface (GUI) of Windows NT Backup was modified to reflect this change. However, Windows NT Backup was not modified to accept this change when the /b switch is used.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
