Can I backup DHCP and WINS without AOFO?

peter_zelonis

We did not purchase Advanced Open File Option. When I do full backups on my 2 domain controllers they always fail "Unable to open the item: \\servername\C:\WINNT\system32\dhcp\dhcp.mdb - skipped. I understand that dhcp.mdb is backed up by windows. Is it enough to have BE back up the backup mdb file? What are best practices regarding Wins and DHCP in regards to backing them up with BE if you are not using AOFO? Thanks
