Are you saying _everything_ else - or maybe everything else on C: - gets
tracked, and potentially restored (synced)? This must make for a huge
tracking area (if for example you [or the system] delete a few feature
films).
Acronis images the C: every Monday night and incremental more often
than that. All the more reason not to store "data" there. That is
pretty much all on other drives. C: is just software.
That way the data can be backed up with a simple copy and the stuff
that needs the Windows infrastructure gets imaged.
