Starting with the 4.2 client, it is immaterial whether you include or exclude adsm.sys, as it gets backed up anyway as part of the system object backup. This is in the README file that accompanies the client:
- The System Objects will no longer be affected by INCLUDE and EXCLUDE statements; e.g., the user will no longer have to explicitly include the registry staging directory for backup, INCLUDE C:\ADSM.SYS\...\*, to ensure that the registry is backed-up properly. Also, if the user were to accidently exclude a directory that was critical to a system object backup, the system object backup will not be affected.
