BE 12.5 says Config.sys is skipped
Posted on 2012-12-26
A couple weeks a go, we started getting Backup exceptions indicating that the C:\Config.sys file was skipped during the System State backup. BE12.5 Version info is included in the attached file. I am runinng Windows Server 2008 32bit. Anyone have any ideas?

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:
