This does not look like a reparse point error.

To backup a Windows system partition you should use a program which takes an image of it, rather than extract its files. By extracting system files you lose several of their attributes (compression, hard links, short file names, integrity markers, etc.), with some attributes not translatable to Linux.

I agree, and using ntfs-3g is not the right way to save a system partition.

Some details would however be useful for doing something about the errors. At least, please post the metadata of a file which could not be read :

sudo ntfsinfo -fv -F "/Program Files/internet explorer/xxx.dat" /dev/sdxx

Replace "xxx.dat" by the name of a file which could not be read, and "sdxx" by the name of the Windows partition.
