Exclude Pagefile.sys in non-grt VMWARE backup

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi Folks,
I'm running Backup Exec 2010R3 with latest Patchlevel on Windows Server 2008R2.
I've defined a global exclusions list as described here:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...
Is it possible that the filter won't work for backup jobs that backup virtual machines without grt option.
I checked the size before and after I made the change in the global exclusions list. But unfortunately the size is the same. Can anyone confirm the behavior?
Best regards

You cannot use file filters with VMware snapshots
All you get with a VMware backup is a snapshot of the complete VMDK.
Think of a VMDK as a big ZIP file - you cannot choose to copy or backup the zip file without copying or backing up all of the content.
Hi Colin,
thank you for your answer!
