Hi,
Can you please export the following registry key and send to me via email
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup
BITS service writes BITS_Metadata regvalue in this registry key, but it wont
write "\*" value into the registry. It is expected to write "C:\Documents
and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*"
There is a known issue when there is an extra character after the above
value which could confuse some backup programs, but we havent seen any
issues with ntbackup.exe.
Can you please see if you can repro the problem (where no files are getting
backed up) and send us the above registry key.
