Guys need some IT help. How can you backup user accounts. Backup should include rights of the users and profile. Computer is a workstation .

Can it be possible?

well first off the page that misty sent you would help with case 3

but in terms of restoring a users account if he accidently deletes the data... unless you update the back up every day your not going to be able to complete restore the acount... only what was updated

as for case 1 you can simple use an external hard drive or any other type of storage device and move the users whole file over... and set up a new acount and direct it to the folder you moved over... or just refer back to the page misty sent you and use the back up folder made and restore the back up folder on to the secondary computer...

hhhmmm any other questions or did that not answer it very well

Thanks Misty_rain and Thatguy.

Let me clear myself a little bit.

Case 1: two computers A and B. I like to transfer all the users account from A to B in one try.

Case 2: If one user by mistake deletes his account, I want to be able to restore from my backup user table.

Case 3: If in future I have to format my computer, i need all the user account restored

Hope that helps answering.

Cheers

im confused at what your asking... if your asking how do you make a back up folder or back up with a hard drive... or just make a recovery file...

im confused at your issue... if you tell me why you want to do it i can probably tell you what the best move to make would be...
