I'm using wbadmin to schedule image backup every night on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server.

Ever since installing MS-SQL 2008 Express R2, wbadmin wants to also backup the volume where the MS-SQL data files are located (L:).

I'm using -allCritical to make sure bare metal restore will work.

command-line:

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\myserver\backup$\myserver\%DATE% -include:C: -allCritical -quiet

I don't want to do this, because I'm backing up MS-SQL manually elsewhere. It worked just fine only taking C: before I installed MS-SQL.
