Automated system restore

Why is it that when I start the ASR wizard, Windows XP tries to back-up
EVERYTHING on my C: drive to the floppy? Am I missing a setting somewhere? I
thought Automated Sytem Restore wizard was only supposed to back up files I
need for system restore.

ASR wizard is the Automated System Recovery wizard.

No, I know what the ASR wizard is and how to start it. What I want to know is
why it tries to back-up EVERYTHING on the C: drive.
