I exclude Perflib_Perfdata_*.dat on each window's client exclude list
via remote regedt entry.  I have NBU 5.0 mp6 with VSP/OFO option
activated.  
I think the key is getting the Underscore plus wild card. 

I didn't know you could exclude globally like I can with Legato
Networker 7.3.1

One would never need these files in the recovery of machine in a
disaster.

What are you procedures for recovery of your machines?

Running NBU 5.1 MP5. 

I have a number of W2k clients and some 2003 clients that consistently
get 
status 1 for backup.
I have excluded these files from backup but NBU still tries to back them

up and fails.

The files that cannot be backed up or skipped are:

C:\WINNT\system32\Perflib*.*

I have defined the exclude list to skip these files for "All Schedules" 
and "All Policies".

C:\winnt\system32\perflib*.*
perflib*

Anyone seen this before?
