System Reserved & Recovery partitions need backing up?
If I expand the Backup Source to 'Full Partition List' I see the System Reserved & Recovery partitions, do these need to be backed up and possibly restored.
Thank you

Thank you Enchantek, I shall include them in my images but when restoring do I need to restore them if Windows is functioning normally? In fact, when would I ever need to restore them?

Let's say you have a complete OS disk failure and need to return your system to as it was prior to that failure then you would need to restore all partitions.
If Windows is working normally then you likely only need to restore things like user files which can be done without regard to what partitions are present.
You create disk level backups to protect complete disks. You create folder/file level backups for user folder/files to protect personal data.

That has explained it perfectly Enchantech, thank you so much for your time.
