The solution to the problem that Dan very clearly defined is that if there
is a current user when the backup is taken (such as on NT Workstation) you
should add a command to your startup folder for the user that is as
follows:

     DSMC REGBACK USER CURUSER

This will cause the current user to be backed up at startup, and should
handle the conditions you described.

William,

In response to your question about the registry will get backed up if the
\config directory is excluded the answer is yes if you have the registry
backup option set in the dsm.opt file.  What ADSM does when starting an
incremental backup is to first run the WinNT utililty REGBACK to backup the
registry to a subdirectory called adsm.sys.  Under this directory are the
files created by REGBACK.  There is one caveat that this forum has
discussed in detail.  Specifically, if a user is logged on during the
backup, that persons registry entry in the HKEY_USERS sub-tree will not be
backed up.  This has backfired on some folks.

Good luck,
 Dan T.
