Question : NT Backup error:  DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreIns<wbr />tall_Direc<wbr />tory" - skipped.

Hi:

I did an NT backup of a 2003 server and got this error message:

Warning: Unable to open "c:\windows\SYSVOL\domain\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall_Directory" - skipped.

Is this anything to be concerned about?  Would it affect a restore in the event of a disaster recovery requiring new hard drives?

Thanks

This is a known problem apparently;

There is a hotfix, and the fantastic work around of "just ignore it" :)
