to the drive file space, not system state file space.
Explanation
Files protected by Microsoft Windows File Protection (WFP) or
Microsoft Windows Resource Protection (WRP) are part of the
Microsoft Volume ShadowCopy Services (VSS) System Writer
which is part of the system state. These files are normally
backed up as part of the system state, not the file system on
which the files reside.
A problem in the operating system environment prevented the
protected file named in the message text from being
enumerated as a system state file and thus backed up as part
of the system state.
The conditions that lead to this message are not normal. In
order to ensure that the file is protected, it is backed up as part
of the file system on which it resides.
System action
The file is backed up as part of the file system on which it resides.
User response
It is possible to restore the system using the file system and
system state backups. However the conditions that prevent
the system state files from being correctly enumerated should
be addressed.
On Microsoft Windows 2008 and Microsoft Windows 2008 R2
you can use the DiskShadow utility sub-command LIST
WRITERS DETAILED to enumerate the system state files.
On other versions of Microsoft Windows you can use the
vshadow utility with the -wm2 option to enumerate the system
state files. Verify that the file indicated in this message is not
listed.
Note: vshadow is a utility that you can obtain from Microsoft.
After confirming that the files are not enumerated, contact your
operating system technical support for help to diagnose and
resolve the issue that prevents the file from being correctly
enumerated as part of the system state.
