Hanging on C:\WINNT\Softwaredistribution\Datastore EDB files

I have backups hanging on one of our servers. It was on these files for over 10 hours and didn�t go any further.

C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Datastore.edb
C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb.log
C:\WINNT\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\tmp.edb

I had to stop services via Windows Services (it wouldn�t stop them via the application) to even get the job to stop. It wouldn�t cancel or anything.

This has happened two nights in a row. Can these files be excluded? Does version 10d have some type of standard exclusion list so I can check all the servers and make sure this doesn�t happen in the future?

Between this problem and the reoccurring WMI problem, our backup environment has been pretty unreliable lately.

Also, I tried to use DirectAssist but after making the entry, it is supposed doing some type of diagnostics and I.E. stops responding.

I found the answer to my own question. Apparently, this directory is for the windows update database. According to one of our I.T. Professionals, it isn't necessary to back this up; so, I excluded it from backup.
