Yes, you can exclude them, especially on servers. I believe there
has been some discussion on this that if you exclude these on a
Workstation, depending on how it's setup etc. this mght not be
the best idea to exclude them as the current user might loose
something
on a restore. If you look at the dsm.smp file as installed on client,
it has a long section of excludes. I use that as standard on NT4.0 and
W2K machines with no problem.
Yes, you can restore the registry. When you backup system objects,
the registry is actually "copied" I believe to C:\adsm.sys folder and
that
is backed up. It's some kind of slight of hand or something they do,
so don't exclude that!

Can I safely exclude following files from backup:
c$\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\NTUSER.DAT
c$\WINNT\Profiles\Administrator\ntuser.dat.LOG
c$\WINNT\system32\config\default.LOG
c$\WINNT\system32\config\SAM
c$\WINNT\system32\config\SAM.LOG
c$\WINNT\system32\config\SECURITY
c$\WINNT\system32\config\SECURITY.LOG
c$\WINNT\system32\config\software
c$\WINNT\system32\config\software.LOG
c$\WINNT\system32\config\system
c$\WINNT\system32\config\SYSTEM.ALT
I am getting errors in the log file that these files cannot be backed
up
since they are open.
Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation
and
User's Guide recommends the following exclude statement:
exclude "*:\...\system32\config\*.*"
exclude "*:\...\system32\config\...\*"
Can I restore the registry and other system objects it I exclude all
the
files listed above? They are not getting backed up anyway.
