Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system
from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows
registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the
use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the
registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SystemWriter

In the Value data box, type all binary paths that should be excluded from the system state backup operation, and then click OK.

NOTE: The binary paths should be absolute paths. They should not include environment variables (such as %windir%) and should not be enclosed in double or single quoation marks.

NOTE:When you apply this solution, a designated path is excluded from a backup of System State, so you should backup from a file directly.
