Andy,
You may find this helpful. Recently during a DR test I found that certain files 
were unavailable for restore and I could not see where they were being 
excluded. 
They were actually being included in the system state backup because they were 
associate with service that was installed by the application, and surprisingly 
they weren't even located on the system drive.

If this is the case they not only will not appear in the list of restorable 
files (CLI or GUI) but will also not appear as a potential backup object if you 
try to perform a manual file level backup.

This describes the actual scenario:

This is helpful determining if they were actually be backed up by the system 
state and how to restore it:

Is there a way to list the files that are backed up as part of the system state 
backup?
In particular we are being asked where a program is being backed up when it 
does not show up in the restore list or the backup list.  The program is the 
value for the ImagePath key for a service.

For example the program "c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\baclient\dsmcad.exe"
