Yes, the problem is that in W2K8, Microsoft has expanded their definition of files to include in the systemstate, and Windows prohibits backup apps from attempting to backup individual files that are so marked. We are seeing increasing examples of application files not being backed up by TSM due to this. Both MS and Tivoli say this is "working as designed". Unfortunately, that means you don't have file-level restore capability for those files.
