Hi,
As you can read here:
http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/...ne/backup.mspx,
the shadow copies of user data are now part of the system restore process.
To my knowledge, there is no way to single out folders and exempt them from
this process. I would consider moving the data, or even the entire user
accounts documents folder, to a different volume and ensuring that drive is
not monitored (System Protection tab of the advanced system properties).
