It looks like that HBS is skipping this registry branch :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup
Browsing my system backup , I can see that the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder exists in the archive.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup\WUA :
%windir%\softwaredistribution\*.* /s
I just did a Full Disk Partition image, and it appears that none of the registry entries are being honored.
I'm also seeing pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys in the image as well. I posted the screen shot of that in a repy to admin.
So even though HBS uses VSS to snapshot the system, it seems it does not follow any of the exclusions.
Disappointing.
