KenBrey Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I find that the vast majority of data backed up on some of my vista clients is system restore points that the operating system creates frequently. These are files stored in a directory called System Volume Information and which have no extension. Is there an easy way to backup the entire volume without including these files?

Mayoff Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 You can create a selector to exclude that folder name from the backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 You can create a selector to exclude that folder name from the backup. That's interesting. I assume excluding that folder has no ill effects when restoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennart_T Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 correct Great! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenBrey Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks. I will add the directory exclusion for c:\System Volume Information to my other standard exclusions: *.ost (because outlook cache files can be recreated from the exchange server) and c:\$Recycle.Bin.
