Temporary Internet Files

To avoid unnecessarily high data change rates and excessive use of network bandwidth, the temporary Internet files need to be excluded from the LiveVault Online Backup Service backup.

LiveVault Online Backup Service Agent version 3.1.2 and later automatically excludes the temporary Internet files. If you are running an earlier Agent version, you must manually create the exclusion. Also, if your computer is configured to use directories other than the defaults (as specified below), you must manually create the exclusion.

In the tree view on the Files to Backup tab, you will see the icon for the automatically excluded files. Parent directories of the automatically excluded files 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).

NT 4

The default temporary Internet files directory is %SystemRoot%\Profiles\*\Temporary Internet Files\

For example, if the %SystemRoot% value is C:, create the exclusion:

Exclude C:\Profiles\*\Temporary Internet Files\*

Windows 2000/2003

The default per-user temporary Internet file directories are based on the registry value of ProfilesDirectory. For example, for the default value %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings where %SystemDrive% value is C:, create the exclusion:

Exclude C:\Documents and Settings\*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*
