Scenario: Remove hard drive from a second computer and mount it on my rig as either SATA or USB to diagnose drive and create an image.
Problem: The image always includes the junctioned folders from the C drive on my own rig. This means 1) the images are unneccesarily big, and 2) restoring an image means the second computer now contains data from my rig.

This makes me nuts!

Anybody out there have a good work around? Why, oh why, can't we have a feature in Acronis to identify a drive as a self-contained external drive (which points only to itself) as an option when creating an image?

Or am I missing something obvious.......

Are you actually creating an image or are you backing up files & folders? As far as I know, junction destinations are not backed up when you create images unless they reside on a partition included in the backup.
