The Windows C:/ partition is now almost a terabyte and normal Windows backup "system image" option wants to backup all of that space instead of just the base Windows files.
How can I make an image/restore point ignoring all the surplus files?

An image backup doesn't really deal with files. It copies raw bits, preserving their location on the platters. There's no interpretation of what those bits represent. – fixer1234 Nov 09 '15 at 22:07

A "System image" is an image of the whole system drive, you can't pick and choose which files are included.
From Microsoft: "A system image is an exact copy of a drive."
