Partitions to backup

Thread needs solution

I am running Acronis True Image 2011 @ build 6868 on a Windows 7 Professional system. When I setup to do a backup, I have the option to pick up to 3 partitions: Unnamed Partition (FAT 16), Recovery Partition, and the OS (c:) partition. It appears by default it selects the Recovery and the OS partitions, and not the Unnamed Partition. Should I be selecting the unnamed partition as well? What is this partition for? If it is something I would need in the event I lose the entire HD, I would select it.
Anything that would help me understand the problem better would be appreciated.

The unamed partition could be a diag partition set up by your computer manufacturer.

Include it on your backup.

Not including could result in (solvable) boot issues or loss of functionality.
