With SSDs becoming more prevalent, how are redirected folders such as Documents handled

Thread needs solution

Say I want a differential backup of my C drive. How will 2015 handle folders such as Documents, Pictures, etc. that have been redirected from the "Users" folder to another disk because of the storage space constraint of an SSD C drive. Will 2015 include these folders automatically in the backup or will they need to be handled separately? In either case, how would I recover these folders? Will there be a problem recovering them properly in either case? Are there special considerations needed for recovery in either case?

If you do a partition backup, you won't backup content that has been redirected. If you do a file backup, you can include the redirected shell folders, and you should get the content. YOu can also include the content in a library, and included the library in the file backup

It would be a good idea to test this out to see if in fact the data in any so called redirected folders is in fact backed up in a differential scheme. If you used symbolic links then what Pat says above should be true. If you used mount points the data may not carryover and thus you would need to backup the folders separately.
