Backing Up and Restoring the WINS Database

You use the Solaris command line or the Windows NT tool, WINS Manager, to back up and restore the WINS database. The following WINS server database files are stored in the /var/opt/lanman/wins directory. This directory was created when you installed the SunLink Server program.

• schema.db - This file is used by WINS to hold information about the structure of its database.

• wins.db - This is the WINS database file.

  Caution -

  Do not remove or tamper with the schema.db or wins.db files in any manner.

You can also use the Windows NT tool, WINS Manager, to examine the current database backup path and to establish a new one.
