Why exclude System volume information from a System Disk Backup?
I want to protect my computer with a System Disk Backup rather than an Entire PC Backup in order to reduce duplication.
I notice on the Options Exclusions page there are many default exclusions as default. I can understand excluding pagefile etc. but System Volume Information surely is needed for a full operating system restore?
Is it entirely safe to accept all the default exclusions?

I have only recently updated to Acronis 2016 build 6559 on 24 April
Now another update build 6569 dated 28 April with similar if not identical release notes.
After I update any programme I use ccleaner and then do a complete defrag which takes time and then back everything up which also takes time.
What I want to know is what the latest release offers the previous one does not so I can decide if all the hassle is worth it. So can anyone please say how the 2 builds above differ?
Thanks Richard

Ditto - posted in that one what the update to 6569 fixes as well if you experience either of these, then you should update.
