how do I back up secedit.sdb?

My backup exec always says skipped for the following files:

Unable to open the item \\servername\C:\WINDOWS\security\edb.log - skipped.

Unable to open the item \\servername\C:\WINDOWS\security\tmp.edb - skipped.
Unable to open the item \\servername\C:\WINDOWS\security\Database\secedit.sdb - skipped.

I have searched and searched and cannot find a way to back up secedit.sdb in particular. I figure that since the first file edb.log ends with log it is just a log file and doesn't need to be backed up (any opinions about if that is correct?) And the tmp.edb says tmp so seems to be a temp file so I figure I don't need to back that up (any opinions about if that is correct?) But the file I care about most is secedit.sdb. In one post here it said used to advanced open file option but I know for some reason we had decided to never use that option. Thank you for any help you can give me.
 
These files are skipped because the files are open. They just stay open.
 
Don't bother answering this question, luckily our admin says to just deselect it because on the particular server its on he doesn't think it is important.
