Each environment is unique.
You need to determine in your own environment what needs to be backed up and what can be excluded.
Look at the status 1 jobs, generate a report of skipped files and go with this list to the server owner to find out if those can be excluded.
It is common practice to exclude database files for SQL, Exchange and other databases and applications as those should be backed up using agents, not file-level backup.
Thanks a lot to everyone who replied, I listed most part according to your advices.
And there are what I got below:
user.dat.LOG1
ntuser.dat.LOG2
Syscache.hve
UsrClass.dat
*:\temp
*:\Temp
C:\WINDOWS\Temp
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files
*.tmp
c:\*\*\Local Settings\Temp
C:\*\*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
*RECYCLER* or *:\Recycle.bin - please advice how correctly exclude recycle bin
~* (usually open unsaved office documents)
We have mdf,ldf,ndf, excludes in MSQL file system backup.
Also for Unix servers:
Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\*.lock"
Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bprd.d\*.lock"
Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\bin\bpsched.d\*.lock"
Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\logs"
Program Files\VERITAS\Volmgr\misc\*"
Please check if I`m right or wrong with this list
Thank you in advance.

If you have MS SQL database file excludes, e.g. *.[lmn]df
...then pay particular attention to this Microsoft tech note:

you don't need these two together:
*:\Temp
*:\temp
...in terms of "matching" they are the same thing. Use one of them, no need for both.
