A. By default WINS backup will actually take place every 24 to 27 hours after the last backup completed.
To work around this perform the following:
Create a batch file that stops and starts the WINS service, e.g. WINSRSTR.BAT
@net stop wins
@net start wins
exitConfigure Wins to backup the database on exit
Schedule the WINSRSTR.BAT to run at whenever you want the database backed up, e.g.
C:> at 22:00 cmd /c "%systemroot%winsrsrt.bat"
