Hi Vincent,
Using the Windows 7 backup tools will generally backup a "System Image" but
there are checkboxes which you need to check in order to have it backup your
important data. System image is a full copy of the disk where Windows is
installed (usually C:). If Windows is installed on multiple disks, they will
be included in the image. But if you have disks with only non-system files,
then they are not backed up.
The system image will create a full copy of every file on your boot
partition, which can be restored from the recovery console on the
installation disk. This will restore everything, including the operating
system, registry, all installed programs, and user profiles. The separate
option to back up specific folders and files is necessary if you want to be
able to restore individual files. The "previous versions" feature and the
ability to restore just specific files requires that you back up those
directories. If you only intend to ever use the restore features to do a
full image restore, you don't need to select anything on C:, however, I have
found it useful in the past to be able to recovery just a single file or
directory of files, such as in the event of an accidental deletion, etc.
Paul.
