Shadow copy to clone system volume on Windows XP


I am looking for a program that uses shadow copy to copy the contents of a Windows XP system volume that is running.

I.e. I want to clone the system volume with the following snags: (1) I want to be able to select which files to copy (i.e. not the entire file system) (2) This is probably implied by (1), but I also have to avoid sector-by-sector copies (3) I do not want to clone a file system into an image file and restore to a 3rd drive but want to do a filesystem to filesystem copy

All the backup/clone utilities I looked into stumble on one of above points. Any ideas?
