These are files that, according to Microsoft, do not need to be backed up
(for example, pagefile.sys). The "Operating System" file list you see
comes from a registry key that Microsoft has implemented for Windows 2000:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
   \System
      \CurrentControlSet
         \Control
            \BackupRestore
               \FilesNotToBackup

One thing I noticed with the new 4.2.0 client code, is that for the W2K
clients only (not NT and not UNIX), when I do a "q inclexcl", the list now
includes "Operating System" excludes.  Can't find this new feature
documented anywhere...at least not in the places I've looked.  Can anyone
shed some light on this?
