SOLVED!! IFW without imaging IFW itself

Hi IFW users,

I'd like to redistribute restore images (OEM Recovery Media License) with the Servers that I create, and I'd like to use IFW to create those images because I can image the system while online and decrypted.

Is there a way to install IFW on a Server, and then when I back up the Server, it does not back up IFW along with the Server?

I don't want IFW to copy itself onto the image, because this means I would be redistributing IFW with the image.

Thanks!

typically you're going to sysprep then use a boot disk to create the image.
