While running both images from the Emergency disk (static disk being imaged), each one containing the EFI, OS & Recovery partitions (it's an UEFI System)... for a 26.4gB image, the System backup was 20,061 bytes SMALLER than the Disk/Partition backup of the same partition set.
Can you give me an idea why there would be any difference at all in those images...??? Thanks!
I haven't checked this out, but its possible that System Backup ignores the hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys which can save many GB in the backup image. Those 2 files will be recreated if the system is restored from a System backup
Disk backup probably backs up everything including hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys.
