Backup Exec Temporary Files & FIM
I am working on a FIM project right now and am going over some files I often see popping up in our reports. Three in particular are of interest to me:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\VirtFile.sys
C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE\VirtFile_BEECE804497C13681B68D69D6AED20EC850A6B2E\VirtFile.inf
C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE\VirtFile_BEECE804497C13681B68D69D6AED20EC850A6B2E\VirtFile.sys
I am considering writing exclusions for these files as I assume they are either temporary files or change often.
Would someone be kind enough tell me what role these files play with regards to Backup Exec?
They're to do with the virtual file filter, and installed when you install an agent supporting AOFO. If you enable Advanced Open File Option you should be able to back them up.
