hi everyone,
just got off the phone to symantec support with regards to a seperate issue. they were connected in taking a look at my backup selection lists & they asked a question of why is the recycler and a few other system folders selected. i just told them I have never really deselected any of these folders for a full system backup generally i just exclude the pagefile.sys. anyway, he then went about his business of the origninal support call.
my question is to the forum, for windows 2003 servers what do you generally exclude from your backup routine even when your trying to do a full system backup of a machine using a remote agent?
i usually just exclude pagefile.sys as explained above but as a rule of thumb should there be other folders that need to be excluded. bearing in mind the backup must be able to be used in order to restore a full machine.
any one seen any symantec documentation on this? i await your comments.
