The Win7 backup image will capture an exact image of your HD at the moment it is imaged.

Store the image externally so if you ever need to reimage or replace your HD, you can boot from the Win7 DVD or repair CD, select Repair My Computer, then Recover Using an Image, it will autodetect the image in the root of the external drive (or a primary formatted partition, or DVD's) and reimage in 15 minutes.
