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.
