Hello there,

Has anyone had any experience trying to limit the number of backups of
the system state objects in Win2K?

I thought the obvious choice was to use the new "include.systemobject
ALL mgmtclass" option and set the backup copygroup in the specified
management class to have a non-zero copy frequency, but that does not
seem to have any effect.  Does any one know if that is working as
designed (I couldn't find any obvious reference to it NOT being
supported for system objects, but I might have missed something).

If it turns out that copy frequency is not supported, the is the best
approach still to just exclude it and use NTBACKUP to a flat file
periodically instead?

Any advise is much appreciated.

Scott.
