We are backing up some databases (SQL and SharePoint) and using agents
to backup the actual dbs and also backing up the entire systems using
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES. 
The A_L_D backup jobs meet a few open db files and can't back them up
(which is expected) and I'm wondering whether I can exclude the
directories where the dbs are stored from the policy (which is backing
up A_L_D) and not affect the agent backups. 
My guess this is as simply achieved by specifying which policy to
exclude from but just want to confirm that this won't affect the agent
(db) backups.
 
What files/folders (on Windows) do people often exclude?
 
Cheers,
