Exclude folder "c:\windows.old" on Image Backup

This doesn’t work on Windows XP/Server 2003.

I need to do an image backup of Windows server 2003 R2 without one huge folder and all files with one file extension (they are big and not important). I cannot do it with UrBackup which is very sad. Acronis does this easily but it’s very expensive.

If I to decide to make a backup of this PC with UrBackup I first must remove all unneeded files, make the image backup, than restore files and setup the file backup. But what if there are more such PCs?

Why to exclude something of user’s choice is such a big deal? Serious backup software have to be able to do such essentials things.
