You will not corrupt windows if restore properly - restore files, restore systemobject. Files will get replaced with proper ones from systemobject (unfortunately it gets bigger and bigger, ms putting too much garbage there).
Zlatko Krastev IT Consultant Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Exclusions added to dsm.opt 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.
