Pruning unwanted file content from an image backup. In one example embodiment, a method of pruning unwanted file content from an image backup includes identifying files to be excluded from a base image backup of a source storage, identifying a set of allocated blocks in the source storage at a first point in time, pruning the set of allocated blocks to exclude the allocated blocks that correspond to content of the files to be excluded, backing up the pruned set of allocated blocks, and not backing up the excluded allocated blocks, in the base image backup, and restoring the base image backup to a restore storage, the restoring including pruning file system metadata of a file system of the restore storage prior to exposing the file system to any user such that the files to be excluded are no longer listed as existing within the file system metadata.
