Hi all,

I would like to know is that the system objects backup is good enough to
cover the above files since it is excluded by default :-

Winnt\system32\config\default
Winnt\system32\config\SAM
Winnt\system32\config\SECURITY
Winnt\system32\config\software
Winnt\system32\config\system
Winnt\system32\config\SYSTEM.ALT

Regards,
Burn

Uhm, our esx work in real production environment, so we cant suspend
machine.

And, to be more critical, we haven't dedicated backup window ...
