    That's OK, but I think that in this case the manual should state that "A 
registry backup will be made when you take an incremental backup of your entire 
domain", and not "backupregistry  - Specifies whether to back up the Windows 
registry during domain incremental backup or backup which includes the Windows 
system drive. This option is for the Windows Me and NT clients only." - Tivoli 
Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's 
Guide (GC32-0788-01) page 98.

Indeed, registry is backed up if you make a full incremental backup with 
domain=all-local. Once you give limitations to your domain (like with c:\*.¨*), 
you exclude the system objects.

Subject: Registry backup on NT


Hello all, 


     I would like to ask you if someone has encountered the following
situation:


    The Windows client manual states that if you have a line BACKUPREGISTRY YES 
in the dsm.opt of a NT 4 system, a registry backup will be taken at every 
incremental that includes the system drive.

    My problem is: I defined a schedule for that machine as follows:

                              Managing profile: 
                
                            Policy Domain Name: PD-XXXXXX
                                 Schedule Name: BKP-FILES-SO
                                   Description: Backup de SO
                                        Action: Incremental
                                       Options: 
                                       Objects: C:\*
                                      Priority: 5
                               Start Date/Time: 09/03/2002 15:00:00
                                      Duration: 2 Hour(s)
                                        Period: 1 Week(s)
                                   Day of Week: Sunday
                                    Expiration: 
                Last Update by (administrator): ADMIN
                         Last Update Date/Time: 09/04/2002 09:53:25
                              Managing profile: 
                
                
 

    Since my NT is installed on the C: drive, I assume that this is a backup 
that includes the system drive, and the registry would be backed up as well. 
But, it doesn't. The registry is only backed up if I remove the C:\* and make a 
full incremental backup of the machine. Is this correct and I misunderstood 
what the manual mentioned, or is it some kind of bug?

    Further information:

   Client: Windows NT 4.o SP6A with TSM client 5.1.1.5
   Server: Windows 2000 SP2 with TSM server 5.1.1.4
