WS 2016 - C:\Windows\servicing\Version
Hi,
The Version folder in the servicing folder is for the Build Version.
You can check the same version last digits after . in the Winversion command.
The folder with the updated versions are created once you run the Servcing KBs like the below ones:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-za/help/4009938/windows-10-update-kb3213986
this build version have all the files and improvements which are recomneded by MS nd increases the build number.
These files will help in finding the build version of the OS helps in applying the SP files.
See the screenshot for attached for more details. Screenshot is for windows 10 but the concept applies for Windows 2016 too.
Those files will keep changing wilt the update in Build version number.
the one option to think off from TSm side to set some thing to ignore empty directories, should help you. which it will not backup the empty ones.
Hi,
thank you for your answer!
I already tried to TSM-exclude these directorys from the backup, but it doesn't seem to be a TSM thing.
The non existent files (x86_installed) in the older folders are reported by the VSS System State Backup.
As soon as I create a SystemState backup, VSS reports the files as "need to be backuped". TSM takes that list of files and starts to backup. But since they are not existing, TSM reports those as "missing files". I found reports about other people with other BackupTools, who encounter the same behaviour.
I already tryed to exclude the files from VSS Backup, but I haven't found a way to do so. All Reg-Keys I tried are ignored.
Any ideas?

Hope its not oo late:
The we can our legacy way in creating the dummy files with the names and backing them up.
The files will not be of any use.
