Hi Wanda,
I am not 100% certain as to the answer, but here is what I think:
When TSM backs up the registry, it uses the Win32 API functions to back up
the registry data to the adsm.sys directory. Then the adsm.sys directory
(and its files and subdirectories) are backed up to the TSM server,
regardless of what the include/exclude statements say. Since both phases
of the registry backup occur during the backup of the system object (not
the file system), we don't want to make an extraneous backups of adsm.sys
when we back up the file system. This is what the implicit EXCLUDE is for
(we just throw it in the same bucket as the MS-recommended files to
exclude).
If I am mistaken, I will update you accordingly.
Best regards,
Andy

Andy, why do we still see C:\ADSM.sys\...\* in that list of files not to
back up?

These are files that, according to Microsoft, do not need to be backed up
(for example, pagefile.sys). The "Operating System" file list you see
comes from a registry key that Microsoft has implemented for Windows 2000:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\System
\CurrentControlSet
\Control
\BackupRestore
\FilesNotToBackup

One thing I noticed with the new 4.2.0 client code, is that for the W2K
clients only (not NT and not UNIX), when I do a "q inclexcl", the list now
includes "Operating System" excludes. Can't find this new feature
documented anywhere...at least not in the places I've looked. Can anyone
shed some light on this?
