Hello
For a storage/backup administrator, few things are as frustrating or as embarrassing as having a user ask you to restore a file, and then finding out that the file was not backed up. If possible, you need to find about any important files that are being excluded from your backup before someone asks you to restore them.
It is fairly common for backup applications to report that one or more files have been skipped. Most of the time this error message isn't really an error at all. It is simply generated because some system files can't be backed up. Even so, it is important to get into the habit of actually looking to see which, if any files have been skipped.

There are several things that you can check. Initially, I recommend checking your backup software just to make absolutely sure that no exclusions have accidentally been set for the missing files. Once you have done that, it's time to dig into the backup logs.
