Windows 2000 maintains a list of files that all backup programs are supposed to ignore. The default is:
Key Name: SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlBackupRestoreFilesNotToBackupClass Name: Last Write Time: 02/29/2000 - 04:27Value 0 Name: Client Side Cache Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %SystemRoot%csc* /s Value 1 Name: ComPlus Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %SystemRoot%registration*.clb *.crmlog /sValue 2 Name: Internet Explorer Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %UserProfile%index.dat /s Value 3 Name: Memory Page File Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: Pagefile.sys Value 4 Name: MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: C:WINNTSystem32DTCLogMSDTC.LOG Value 5 Name: Netlogon Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %SystemRoot%etlogon.chg Value 6 Name: NTBackup Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: D:ZZZDumpmemory.dmp /sValue 7 Name: Power Management Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: hiberfil.sys Value 8 Name: Task Scheduler Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %SYSTEMROOT%schedlgu.txt Value 9 Name: Temporary Files Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %TEMP%* /s Value 10 Name: Winlogon debug Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: %WINDIR%debug*
The registry keys that should not be restored default to:
Key Name: SYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlBackupRestoreKeysNotToRestoreClass Name: Last Write Time: 02/12/2000 - 05:07Value 0 Name: Active Directory Restore Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: CurrentControlSetServicesNTDSRestore In Progress CurrentControlSetServicesNTDSParametersNew Database GUIDValue 1 Name: Fault Tolerance Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: Disk Value 2 Name: Installed Services Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: CurrentControlSetServices* Value 3 Name: LDM Boot Information Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: CurrentControlSetServicesdmioboot info Value 4 Name: Mount Manager Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: MountedDevices Value 5 Name: Pending Rename Operations Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: CurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerPendingFileRenameOperations Value 6 Name: Plug & Play Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: CurrentControlSetEnum CurrentControlSetControlCriticalDeviceDatabaseValue 7 Name: Session Manager Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: CurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerAllowProtectedRenames Value 8 Name: Windows Setup Type: REG_MULTI_SZ Data: SetupSystemPartition
I was able to add files to the list in the NTBackup value name.
