Thanks for your reply. However it looks like your list is geared to
XP/2003 as you still list names such as "Documents and Settings"
and "Local Settings" which have been renamed in Windows 7 and 2008.
Also, I don't want to go quite as far with excluding users' data
folders.
For now I ended up with:
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
Exclude = yes
IgnoreCase = yes
# Exclude user specific application settings on server
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/Users/*/AppData"
# These are always open and unable to be backed up
WildDir =
"[A-Z]:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Network/Downloader/qmgr[01].dat"
# Some random bits of Windows we want to ignore
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/WINDOWS/msdownld.tmp"
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/WINDOWS/$Nt*Uninstall*"
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/WINDOWS/SoftwareDistribution"
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/WINDOWS/WinSxS"
# Temporary directories & files
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/WINDOWS/Temp"
# Recycle bins
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/RECYCLER"
WildDir = "[A-Z]:/$Recycle.Bin"
# Swap files
WildFile = "[A-Z]:/pagefile.sys"
WildFile = "[A-Z]:/hiberfil.sys"
}
File = "C:/"
File = "E:/"
}
Excluding the entire AppData directory of each user profile
covers 2003's "Local Settings", "Cookies", Mozilla Profiles
and more and shouldn't harm because this is a server where
regular users don't log on interactively anyway.
The WinSxS folder is a real hog, growing relentlessly, and
apparently just needed for uninstallations and reinstallations,
but I'm a bit unsure whether it's really a good idea to exclude
it.
Some sources recommend excluding the "System Volume Information"
folders present on each NTFS volume, but without a clear reason,
so I decided against it.
Comments?
