Yes, that's exactly why I am doing that.
I only want to backup the OS, and programs.
The rest of the info is duplicated on other hdds, so I don't want to backup that info, which will give me a shorter backup time and a much smaller one if I have to do a restore.
For anyone else planning to do this I would recommend imaging every partition first using (free) Macrium Reflect. This is a bit of extra security should you want to return to the original configuration in the future.
