2nd Request Posting: 6/25/07

Is it possible to exclude one or more folders (non-system use folders)
of the system drive (c:) during an ASR backup? There is nothing in
the GUI to allow doing this. Is there by chance a registry hack to
allow it? Thanks.

Additional with 2nd request posting: Or, is there some way to
generate the ASR diskette without doing an actual ASR backup?

Platform: Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Thanks.

I think that you need to do an NT Backup to have the ability to selectively
exclude/include files and directories during the backup procedure. Not 100%
sure though.

Yes, that is what I'm forced to do, also including system state data.
However, that does not create the files needed to make an ASR
diskette. In Windows XP and Server 2003, the only way to create an
ASR diskette (or even just create the files in c:\windows\repair) is
to use the ASR Wizard in Windows Backup and that doesn't offer the
ability to exclude any folders, it defaults to backing up c:\*.*

Since no one has posted a solution, I guess there is no hack to allow
generating the ASR files without doing an ASR backup or a hack to
allow excluding any folders while doing an ASR backup.
