Objects Specified in the FilesNotToBackup Registry Key

Microsoft and other application development companies have specified that certain files and other objects should be excluded from backup. These files and objects are specified in the Windows 2000/2003 registry key:

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup

All LiveVault Online Backup Service Agent versions automatically exclude the specified files and objects from LiveVault Online Backup Service backup.

In the tree view on the Files to Backup tab, you will see the icon for the automatically excluded files and objects. Parent directories of the automatically excluded files and objects are marked in MyLiveVault with one of the "partially excluded" icons, either (if a parent directory is selected), or (if a parent directory is not selected).
