Should MS fix this? Probably yes but their current philosophy seems to be that people should be using win 8 backup (Files within Libraries only) I hate the whole concept of Libraries, (and Play Lists) They make no G D sense to me. But that's just me.
I totally agree with you there. I too never got used to libraries. Also, i don't quite get the concept of Win 8 Backup, since you have to reinstall everything in case of harddrive crash.
I often use files (e.g. scripts) outside of my users folder (e.g. on drive D:) so they're easier to reach on the command line. I guess they also wouldn't be part of the backup then? For all those reasons, I would really like to go back to using Win 7 Backup.
For now, I'm using Acronis True Image, which is working well so far, but I don't really like the idea of backing up to a proprietary image format.
