file types to be excluded from backup

[Marko_Andreis]

hello,

once upon a time i came upon an article explaining than when using a lotus domino agent the file types .nsf, .ntf, .box and .dsk should be excluded from "normal" backup, since the agent takes care about them. otherwise they can be corrupted.
i cannot find that article any more, but now we have purchased mssql agent and i would like to know are there also some file types to be excluded when using the mssql agent.

kind regards,
marko

None that I'm aware of. You will find that your .ldf and .mdf files for databases that are mounted will be skipped, but there's no need to add an exclusion for them.
In fact, if you added an exclusion, that would mean you couldn't do an offline SQL backup.
