System Image - what does it not include?
Below is my understanding of creating a System Image Backup..please correct where I am wrong.
Creating a system image makes an exact "image" of your hard drive and backs up all of the following..
- OS settings and configuration (but NOT the actual OS)
- C drive data (including all files such as pictures, music, movies..etc.)
- All Programs in loaded on the OS such as MS Word, Excel, Itunes etc.
The reason I ask....is the actual back-up image file I created was quite a bit smaller than what my current hard drive stated that my "used" space was.
For example..my Hard drive shows 59 gig used...but the Backup System Image file was only 39 Gig.
Please let me know what I am missing.
