Realistically speaking I don't think it's possible because image restore works on block level.
- Exclude some folder like C:\Steam\ from the image backup.
- During delta restore you would have an option to keep C:\Steam\ untouched the way it is right now.
But maybe it could be implemented somehow by watching over the changed blocks and prevent overwriting the data.
Or data could be moved to a temporary partition at the end and restored afterwards. But that could be a lengthy operation then.
That would be an awesome feature though, you could roll back your PC and keep excluded folders instead of them being purged.
This is a brilliant idea
. However, as you pointed out, backup and restore operations are performed at the block level, which makes this quite challenging. We’ll need some time to properly digest this proposal.
