Are you you using NT or Windows 2000?
First, I would add an include for the staging directory, ADSM.SYS, so that
the registry and other system objects are processed correctly (this is
important on Windows 2000):
* this should be the last include/exclude statement, i.e., at the bottom of
the list
include *:\adsm.sys\...\*
If you are running Windows 2000, I suggest looking into the registry for
clues on which files to exclude. There is a key called
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup which
has a list of files that backup programs cannot process.
Look for TSM client to be a bit more clever in the future in this area,
i.e., automatically excluding FilesNotToBackup, automatically including
staging directories, etc.
Thanks,

Are these files being exluded from backup?
Attempt to backup another user's ntuser.dat file from the GUI.
Check the logs to see if the files are in use when your scheduled backups
ran.
Other than that, I am out of ideas!

Yes, this is the same thing that i think but if i open the TSM Client i can
find no NTUSER.dat File under the Profiles\username folders and also no
under the ADSM.sys folder.... it sounds strange but is the true..
You will only see the user registry files under ADSM.sys if that user was
logged on when the backup was run. If there are no directories there, you
have nothing to worry about. Also if these files are not current you don't
have to worry about them - they were from a prvious backup when the user
was
logged on.
The "default" file is part of the system registry and should be copied to
\winnt\system32\config along with the files in the
adsm.sys\registry\...\MACHINE\ directory. This step has to be performed
from another system (recovery system) since these files are used by NT.
