No.

Backup software should ignore these files anyway.
 
Not delete, Set Pagefile to None, Disable Hibernate.

However which Imaging tool are you using ?
If it's a "Hot Image" type (Runs within Windows), it likely will
omit them automatically. XP will recreate them on bootup.
Check your applications help or manual.
 
I'm using Image for Windows but using it from BartsPE CD so Windows
isn't running. Not sure if these files are excluded automatically,
will look into that at the Terabyte website.

Thanks,
