However foolish this might sound, I kinda need this. So far the only way I have managed to do this is to create and deploy a system image in Windows.

But because of certain video games saving their savegames and other data to the AppData/Local subfolder, I somehow want to manage to do this without having to create newer and newer system images

I just tested for the Local folder [mine on this computer is less than 6GB] by creating a temporary folder on the drive and the copying process cannot access several files in it even with full permissions, only copied about half.

You mentioned system images. What application do you use to create your images?

Create an elevated batch script to Robocopy the directory to your sync folder

I do file only backups - Documents, specific AppData, and Save Games - and part of that backup is files from the C:\Users\USERNAME hierarchy.

For my backups I use Perfect Backup, compress as a Zip, and copy to my NAS (which is then Symlinked to my iCloud Drive folder for backup to the cloud).
