JSI Tip 0696 - Automatic backup of my WINS database does not occur every three hours?

The documentation says that automatic backup of a WINS database, it will occur every 3 hours.

The documentation is incorrect. WINS backup will occur ~ every 24 -27 hours. Each time it will occur later as it is not scheduled to start until the current backup finishes.You can alter this behavior.

1. Create a batch file ( WINSAUTO.BAT ) that contains:

      @echo off
      net stop WINS
      net start WINS
      exit

2. Configure WINS to backup the database on exit.

3. Schedule the batch:

      AT hh:mm cmd /c "<Drive:>\folder\WINSAUTO.BAT"
