I'm not sure about the PDC, but on member servers
c:\winnt\system32\config\*.* contains registry files and is done by a
Windows API call (I think) and put into the ADSM.SYS directory usually on
C:\. I have that directory (c:\winnt\system32\config\*.*) in the Exclude
section of the dsm.opt because those files are locked by Windows and that's
what gives you the errors. To restore it you do restore registry. Look in
your dsmsched.log file and search for "SAM", it's probably being done, I
think it's done by default.

Subject: Backing up an NT Domain Controller and the SAM D'base
All,
This topic has probably been covered before, but I get sharing violation's
when trying to backup c:\winnt\system32\config\*.*, the serialisation is set
to shrdynamic on the server. Whats the best way to get this backed up.
Normally the solution to this sort of thing is staring me in the face but I
can't seem to sort it.
Client Error - ANS1228E
Server Error - ANE4987E
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Mal
