I need help understanding and using the Automated System
Recovery. The documentation stated that when using the
ASR backup wizard, data files are not backed up. When I
used it, all of the data files in the current partition
where windows is installed, my entire C drive were backed
up.

1. Will theses data files be restored in a systems
failure restoration using the ASR?
2.Can I use the data backed up with the ASR wizard to do
a standard recovery in the case that a portion of the C
drive or individual files are corrupted, but the windows
system has integrity.
3. Finally, how is the archive flag treated in an ASR
backup? Can I follow up with standard differential
backups on the data files that were backed up with the
ASR wizard?

Thanks for your reply. I have already read this document
and it does not offer the information that I need. The
document clearly states that the ASR wizard does not
backup data files:

"Note Only those system files necessary for starting up
your system will be backed up by this procedure."

The ASR wizard on my Windows XP backed up a full 7 gig
worth of data files in addition to the system files from
my C Drive. My concern is that it is not working
properly. Can you explain?
