Found another trick:
I replaced the folder "User Data" in "C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\ by a symbolic link.
First I copied the complete folder "User Data" to a location on the partition for my Documents.
From that the folder can be backed up in SyncBackFree, where I have choice to make a backup of that folder or not.
But it will not make part of the system drive images anymore, a reduction of (uncompressed) 750 MB...
That will do for me and otherwise I will see what to do next.
Anyway: I don't like this intrusive way MS tries to force me using CoPilot!
