Default Complete PC Backup - Exclusion of other OS/system partitions

Hello!

I've installed Vista (RC1) in a dual-boot environment, alongside XP Pro.

I wish to use the image backup mode to backup my entire VISTA OS partition.
BUT I do *not* want to backup my XP Pro partition as I have other
arrangements for that.
However, the option to deselect it from the source partitions pick list is
disabled, so the only way I can backup my Vista installation successfully is
to backup my whole 10GB+ XP Pro installation too.
This seems crazy, especially as it appears that there is no way to compress
images stored to hard disk. I appreciate that for the average home user this
is probably the safest option, but anyone who has any multi-OS setup is
really stung by this! Surely it should be available as an option with
warnings and confirmations?!

My current imaging tool, Paragon Hard Disk Manager, seems unable to
successfully restore images I take of the Vista partition, so it isn't an
option).

Is there any way that I can do an image backup of JUST my Vista partition?

Thanks in advance!
