Hello, I would like to make a backup copy of C:\Documents and Settings\, but it seems like I cannot because I am using NTUSER.DAT file in LocalService folder/directory. How can I copy this and maybe other files in used? Or do I even need them if I have to restore from backups (will windows xp Pro. SP2 (all updates) recreate them if they don't exist?)?

Odd, I only copied accounts directories/folders that I wasn't logged into and I still got that error. Is that because I am logged in the Domain/ActiveDirectory network?
