I agree, the special predefined savesets for Windows systems are small
and don't take long so I don't worry about them.

excluded
I have been asked over the years to stop these and expended a lot of
effort trying to get to a safe solution.
The windows admins say they don't need these backups. But oddly enough
I've seen a fair few restores of them also. They only take a minute or
so to do usually quite small and they're easy to ignore when reporting
failures.
So I would advise just using All and let them happen.

Tim,
VSS:*=off causes Networker to backup the old predefined savesets. So
rather than "VSS ASR DISK", for example, it will backup "ASR".
Hopefully there is someway to pull this off-- use the ALL saveset but
skip
the predefined savesets.
Thanks,
Brian
