NSB: Difference between file and partition backup

Thread needs solution

Is there a difference by selecting say an entire partition, vs picking and choosing folders that are backed up? I mean, in terms of the type of backup? The article here http://kb.acronis.com/content/13534 seems to indicate there _is_ a difference. I just can't tell what it is.

A file-type backup won't let you restore the partition as a whole. You would only be able to restore the files/folders backed up. A partition-type backup includes everything on the partition (all files/folders).
