touch.
It ends in a status 1, which really isnt a problem if they are not excluded,
and I do SQL Offline Backup files, which work for us, plus saves alot of
money requiring the SQL Agent!

We are backing up some databases (SQL and SharePoint) and using agents to
backup the actual dbs and also backing up the entire systems using
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES. 
The A_L_D backup jobs meet a few open db files and can't back them up (which
is expected) and I'm wondering whether I can exclude the directories where
the dbs are stored from the policy (which is backing up A_L_D) and not
affect the agent backups. 
My guess this is as simply achieved by specifying which policy to exclude
from but just want to confirm that this won't affect the agent (db) backups.
 
What files/folders (on Windows) do people often exclude?
 
Cheers,
