ATI Home 2010 - excluded files

Thread needs solution

ATI Home 2010 build: 6053

I am trying to exclude the pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys from my disk partition backup (NOT using sector by sector). I specified these files in the exclusion list as C:\pagefile.sys and C:\hiberfil.sys.

To ensure this was working I first created an image with these files included. I then created another image with them excluded, however, both image sizes were the same. This tells me the exclusion is not working. Given the size of these two files I would really like to omit them from my image!

They are both omitted by default; you don't have to exclude them.

That files should be deleted by default, but even adding the file name to the exclusions, does not work on my system with build 7046 and Windows XP Pro SP3 (Dutch). So, don't believe everything what Acronis is telling you.
Check your image by mounting and looking into the "new drive".
