Backup system state

Thread needs solution

Hi, looking to move from Backup Exec but I can't see an option to backup what BackupExec called the 'system state' i.e. users (their passwords etc.) and so on. This is different from the users and profiles directories. Can this be done without doing a full backup since users can change passwords as and when they like and I only want to back up stuff that's changed though out the day (i.e. not program files etc.)?

Many thanks

Adrian

Hi

We don't have "system state" backup."System state" is usually a set of system files, registry and some other components.

If you want to minimize amount of data backed up each day, you can configure "Entire machine" backup using "Always-incremental (single-file)" backup scheme (default scheme).

Also, you can exclude some directories from the backup in the backup options (option "File filters").
