That's the reason we use lots of drive letters. In the SBS world where we typically work we tend to put WSUS and other 'stuff' on their own drives for that kind of reason. Heck we even have one server with a TB USB drive attached which is then passed through to the Hyper-V client just for random un-backed up stuff.
How about moving WDS into it's own drive? You could always virtualise and over-provision (is that he correct word?).

I'd like to exclude WDS from being backed up as part of the System State backups because it adds 100Gb to each nightly System State backup because of the images folder. I can't seem to find a way to exclude JUST the WDS stuff from the System State. It seems to be all or nothing. Is this possible to do?
