Yes, I've seen that before. here is a link describing the situation

That link does not seem to be related to my issue. I am not doing differential backups. There is an error message in the backup logs indicating that the file was skipped. I can find no indication of the reason for the file being skipped other than the fact that it does not exist. From what I have read Windows Server 8 does not have a config.sys file. So I guess the question would be why is Backup Exec giving an error for skipping a file that does not and should not exist.
You might not edit it like we did years back, but here is information on it:
