Option not working

Thread needs solution

using ati2016 I have the option to backup sector by sector with the "backup unallocated space" option unchecked. The backup image is the size of the drive I am backing up, not the 40 Gb (the size of the data).

You've misunderstood the meaning of "unallocated space". This is the space on a disk that is not assigned to a partition. The space you are thinking of is the free space within a partition. That will be backed up if you choose the sector by sector option with or without the unallocated space box checked. 

Then why with both those options in 2015 are the baclups only the size of the data and not the entire disk/partition?

 

or more importantly, how do get 2016 to work like 2015 did?
