RE: excluding WDS from System State backup
That's the reason we use lots of drive letters. In the SBS world where we typically work we tend to put WSUS and other 'stuff' on their own drives for that kind of reason. Heck we even have one server with a TB USB drive attached which is then passed through to the Hyper-V client just for random un-backed up stuff. How about moving WDS into it's own drive? You could always virtualise and over-provision (is that he correct word?).

Re: excluding WDS from System State backup
IMO, the WDS server doesn't change often enough to require frequent backups. It gets an ad hoc backup, and relatively infrequent updates, as necessary, based on changes to the image library.

Re: excluding WDS from System State backup
Agreed, but that doesn't solve my issue since I can't seem to prevent it from getting backed up as part of the system state. I think I'm going to have to schedule stopping the WDS service each night, and schedule it to start up again sometime after the backup is done. I've been able to verify that, if WDS service is stopped, my system state backups go from 100GB in size to about 13GB in size. (which is why i just hoped there was a way to exclude WDS from it.. but... doesnt seem likely at this point) Original Message: - From: Jonathan Link jonathan.l...@gmail.com Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:32:31 -0500 To: ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: Re: excluding WDS from System State backup IMO, the WDS server doesn't change often enough to require frequent backups.
