User Profiles

A

User Profile

contains information about a user configuration. This

includes the profile components, such as desktop settings, screen colors,
and network connections. When a user logs on, the user profile is loaded
and the Windows environment is set accordingly.

The user profile data resides in the following directory:

<%SystemRoot%>\Profiles

on Windows NT

\Documents and Settings

on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003

These directories contain all user profiles that are configured on the
system and backed up by Data Protector. If a system is configured for
multiple users, a separate user profile belongs to each defined user. For
example, the

All Users

and

Default User

profiles contain the profile

components common to all defined users and those assigned to a newly
created user.

Data Protector reads the location of the profiles from the following
Registry keys:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\\

CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

where information about common profile components resides.

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\\

CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

NOTE

If you back up

CONFIGURATION

and the whole Windows system partition

as a filesystem, the

Profiles

are backed up twice; as part of a filesystem

backup and as part of

CONFIGURATION

. To avoid this, exclude the profile

data (see above for location) from the filesystem backup.
