- Backups - "System State" ?
- Posted by Tecknomage on November 18th, 2005
OK, when I do backups one of the "items" listed is "System State."
So, what _is_ backed up as "System State?"

"System State" includes everything you need to restore
Windows to an operating condition, but no applications
and no data.

"System State data includes the following:
* Boot files, including the system files
* Files protected by Windows File Protection (WFP)
* The registry
* Performance counter configuration information
* The Component Services class registration database
The System State data does not represent the entire system. To restore
a system to an operational condition, the boot files, system volumes,
and System State must all be restored together."
