I disagree.
Macrium Reflect ETC does NOT ignore these files.
It is VSS which refrains from including them in its snapshot.
If VSS is broken, and when there is no VSS under a Boot CD environment,
then Macrium uses its own drivers to capture all used sectors without distinction of what files they are in.
I believe alternative imaging software similarly uses VSS to expedite image creation,
and given no VSS the result is again either no distinction or a total fail because there is no "fall-back" position with alternative drivers.
