SYMPTOMS
========
Automatic backup of a WINS database does not occur every three hours as stated
in the documentation. It occurs every 24 to 27 hours.
MORE INFORMATION
================
WINS backup will occur 24 to 27 hours after the last backup occurred.
Additionally, the backup will happen later each day because the next backup-
time will be calculated when the current backup has finished.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around the problem, create a small batch file to stop and start the WINS
service, and schedule this batch to run at a certain time of day. Additionally,
configure WINS to make a backup of the database on exit.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0.
