Hello all,

Has anyone managed to get this working, particularly using the runbeforescript 
to back up the system state? I have discovered that to the best of my ability 
it is now possible to do this effectively for a number of reasons.

A work around I am currently using to back up the system state is to run a 
scheduled task on the windows server every night that removes the previous 
(10GB!) vhd file and creates another system state backup. Then, bacula backs up 
this vhd file without the need for the runbeforescript.

I am also having problems either backing up or excluding C:\Users\ and similar 
folders (I think it's specific to folders which are or contain shortcuts. The 
following error occurs when I try to back up the directory:

hostname.tld JobId 858: Could not open directory C:/Users/All Users/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application 
Data/Application Data/Start Menu: ERR=The name of the file cannot be resolved 
by the system.

It's obviously recursivle mapping to the Application Data directory but I have 
no idea why is would do that and also when I try to exclude the Users 
directory's contents, the same error occurs and therefor my excluding the 
directory obviously hasn't worked. If I exclude directories on other servers 
which are windows server 2003 in the same way then it works correctly. The 
following is the client's config with regard to file includes and excludes:

FileSet {
  Name = "x.x.x.x Full Set"
        Include {
                Options {
wildfile = "C:/Documents and Settings/*"
wildfile = "*PAGEFILE.SYS"
wildfile = "C:/Users/*"
wildfile = "*.log"

                        exclude = yes
                        signature = MD5
                        onefs = no
                        fstype = ntfs
                }
File = C:/
File = D:/
        }
}

Thank you very much for your help
Felicity
