Microsoft's OS sets up a registry key something like "files not to back up"
(search MS knowledge base for details) that all backup software vendors are
obliged to honor.  That, or their paths appearing in an applicable exclude
list, are all that would cause local files to be ignored.

Files which aren't ignored as above, but can't be backed up (locked files,
for instance) will cause a status 1 and be listed in the Problems report.
