I don't use Windows Snapshots. I use FastStone Capture for my screen snapshots.
That’s not what I meant. I was talking about image (drive) snapshots and other NTFS related system files that Windows automatically saves in that mentioned system folder. You could look at that folder and compare sizes with a tool like WizTree.
In fact, MR8 only skips backing up the data of excluded files but retains their file entries. Therefore, after mounting the image, you can still see the excluded files (such as pagefile.sys), though their data is all zeros. Precisely for this reason, tools like WizTree that rely on the file system structure may be unable to identify which files MR8 has excluded.
