Hello all, 


     I would like to ask you if someone has encountered the following
situation:


    The Windows client manual states that if you have a line
BACKUPREGISTRY YES in the dsm.opt of a NT 4 system, a registry backup
will be taken at every incremental that includes the system drive.

    My problem is: I defined a schedule for that machine as follows:

                              Managing profile: 
                
                            Policy Domain Name: PD-XXXXXX
                                 Schedule Name: BKP-FILES-SO
                                   Description: Backup de SO
                                        Action: Incremental
                                       Options: 
                                       Objects: C:\*
                                      Priority: 5
                               Start Date/Time: 09/03/2002 15:00:00
                                      Duration: 2 Hour(s)
                                        Period: 1 Week(s)
                                   Day of Week: Sunday
                                    Expiration: 
                Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN
                         Last Update Date/Time: 09/04/2002 09:53:25
                              Managing profile: 
                
                
 

    Since my NT is installed on the C: drive, I assume that this is a
backup that includes the system drive, and the registry would be backed
up as well. But, it doesn't. The registry is only backed up if I remove
the C:\* and make a full incremental backup of the machine. Is this
correct and I misunderstood what the manual mentioned, or is it some
kind of bug?

    Further information:

   Client: Windows NT 4.o SP6A with TSM client 5.1.1.5
   Server: Windows 2000 SP2 with TSM server 5.1.1.4
