Hello, you can exclude these files without any problems. TSM handles these files (not ntuser.dat) as system objects and backs them up another way. Because these files are allways opened by another process (OS), TSM is not able to back them up in the normal way. If you do a backup of Partition C, than you can see, that TSM makes a directory named adsm.sys. Within this directory there are "copies" of the NT system objects (Registry and Log), which allows TSM, to back these "copies" up.
Hope this helps, MfG/regards Sascha Br�uning Sparkassen Informatik, Fellbach OrgEinheit: 6322 Wilhelm-Pfitzer Str. 1 70736 Fellbach Telefon: (0711) 5722-2144 Telefax: (0711) 5722-1634 Mailadr.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
