since you will not be able to restore a windows system from the backuppc
backups then i would suggest the following folders to exclude
c:\program files
c:\windows
c:\temp
also exclude the file
c:\pagefile.sys (this is your swap file, no point in backup it up. probably
over a gig!)
***
i would suggest you not even try to backup the C: but instead backup
"Documents and Settings" and any special directories off of c:\. i do
c:\documents and settings and c:\downloads and c:\scripts. i run some bash
scripts via cygwin on a few machines. I ONLY put the 'docs and settings' in
the default config file and add the other folders in the individual config
files so i dont get the errors for missing shares on a bunch of machines
without a downloads or a scripts share.
