I have a client with a Windows2003 server with Exchange 2003 on it. Lately he 
started seeing errors in his nightly non-Exchange
backups relating to a file in the C:\Windows\WinSxS folder. I've search the 
archives and came up dry. No hits on IBM either. I
Google search brought up some information on package assemblies.



Would it be safe to EXCLUDE.DIR the C:\WINDOWS\WINSXS directory? The error(s) 
the client is getting are:

olicy': file input/output error

And the backup schedule indicates failed.
