This means, that ll the files matching will not be included in the backup, i.e. every file in %windir%\softwaredistribution\,
all files ending in *.ost or *oab in $UserProfile$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\,
all files in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\RAC\*, %ProgramData%\Microsoft\RAC\StateData\* %ProgramData%\Microsoft\RAC\PublisherData\*
These are the default settings. The *ost and *oat files are omitted because Microsoft thought they would change too often and make snapshots slow, and you don’t really need them. Upon initiating the shadow copy, HDClone tells all aware services that now a backup is being made, at which point the applications should flush their caches, to make a complete backup possible.
