Managing Failed Backups

The following example is a list of files that cannot be opened on an active
Windows NT 4.0 system with the Windows NT software installed on the

C:

drive:

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\default

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\default.LOG

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\SAM

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\SAM.LOG

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\SECURITY

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\SECURITY.LOG

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\software

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\software.LOG

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\system

<%SystemRoot%>\system32\config\SYSTEM.ALT

For each user who is logged on, the following files also cannot be opened:

<%SystemRoot%>\Profiles\\NTUSER.DAT

<%SystemRoot%>\Profiles\\ntuser.dat.LOG

IMPORTANT

When performing a filesystem backup of a system disk, the previously
listed files are not backed up. Excluding them only solves the problem of
managing the session reports. You should perform a

CONFIGURATION

backup to back up the contents of these specific files.

When backing up an inactive system disk (for example in a dual-boot
situation) the previously listed files are not a part of the currently active

CONFIGURATION

. These files can be backed up in a filesystem backup, and

should not be excluded.

Preventing Backup Failure

Data Protector provides a set of features that improve backup
robustness, thus lessening the chance that a backup could fail.
