hiberfil.sys included in backup

The Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToBackup includes both \pagefile.sys and \hiberfil.sys
The System Backup excludes pagefile.sys but it includes hiberfil.sys
Any idea why the Registry setting is not implemented?

  • Take a look at
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToSnapshot

    This is the key used by Aomei.

    You can edit this and add C:\hiberfil.sys

  • I am still puzzled.  The key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestore\FilesNotToSnapshot includes neither \pagefile.sys nor \hiberfil.sys and yet pagefile.sys does not get backed up while hiberfil.sys does.
