Thomas, I am not sure if not having a backup of this file will prevent recovery. It would seem that this is part of the C: drive and not a nominal part of the system state. However, one thing I would suggest (and I am personally starting to think of it as a 'best practice') is to use SNAPSHOTPROVIDERFS VSS so that all volumes (not just system state) are backed up via snapshot. This will ensure that files are not skipped because if they are opened for exclusive use by some other application.
I would also suggest periodic DR testing in order to verify that the backup and restore procedures are working.
