I found the section in the manual that covers the recommended Windows system files to exclude (see below). I changed the dsm.opt files to reflect this list. My question is: If I attempt a full restore will these files that got backed up (prior to me excluding them) restore and risk corrupting windows as the manual suggests? If so, how do I address this?
exclude "*:\microsoft uam volume\*" exclude "*:\microsoft uam volume\...\*" exclude "*:\...\ea data. sf" exclude "*:\...\pagefile.sys" exclude "*:\...\ibmbio.com" exclude "*:\ibmdos.com" exclude "*:\msdos.sys" exclude "*:io.sys" exclude.dir *:\recycled exclude.dir *:\recycler exclude.dir *:\...\system32\wins exclude.dir *:\...\system32\LServer exclude.dir *:\...\system32\dhcp exclude.dir *:\...\system32\config exclude.dir "*:\system volume information" exclude *:\...\system32\perflib*.dat exclude.dir "*:\...\temporary internet files" exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\ntuser.dat.LOG" exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\ntuser.dat" exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\usrclass.dat.LOG" exclude "*:\documents and settings\...\usrclass.dat" Thanks in advance - Joe McAllister Grundfos Pumps Corp.
