Sure you can. Per Microsoft,

  ImageX currently does not support the following NTFS features:

    - Extended attributes.
    - Object IDs.
    - Reparse points that are neither symbolic links nor junctions.
      ImageX will fail to apply them.
    - Sparse files. (They can be captured and applied, but they are
      no longer sparse after they are applied.)
A decent disk cloning utility should support all these things.

Fascinating, didn't know all that. But I guess for basic imaging these aren't a big deal. It's what the Windows installer has used since Vista.
