ATIH 2011 - Different Backups - but all without windows registry

Thread needs solution

Hi,
i use ATIH 2011,
create weekly delta backups
monthly complete backups
and 1 time in quartal a complete hard disk image

This backup not excluded any files! / And I started it most with booting from ATIH CD to get a posibility save the Windows XP-Files, whitch may be lockt, when i boot windows xp.

But now my problem:
2 times windows would not start, while one of the registration files has a damage

Why not even one Backup contains following files ?
c:\windows\system32\config\default
c:\windows\system32\config\SAM
c:\windows\system32\config\SECURITY
c:\windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE
c:\windows\system32\config\system

Thanks for input

First of all, those are hidden & system files; are you sure they are not in the backups? How are you determining their presence.
Second, only files with sectors that have been written to will be in diffs or incs.

Are you doing file backups or partition or disk mode backups. You want to do partition or disk mode to get the system files.

Hi
just a note to say i backed up some hidden files the other day, the backup went fine, when i went to look at the back up it said there were 2 files backed up yet nothing was showing on the screen, then i suddenly had a thought, i went back into windows and clicked on show hidden files, then went back into true image and the files were showing!! its a bit messy having to do this and at first i couldnt work out what was going on, it would be easier if TI just showed hidden files as normal, at least then i could see the backups no problem without having to go through all that.

anyway it might be worth you doing the same and then looking in the backup for them.
