A system backup is a copy of a partition or partitions that relate directly to the Windows operating system.
A disk backup is a copy of all disk partitions, including those that are not directly related to the operating system.
If there are no partitions on the hard disk other than the operating system partitions, there will be no difference between a system backup and a disk backup.
There can be several strategies for using backups, the most popular one looks like this: you create a full backup, then several incremental backups, then a differential backup, etc.
All program activations, personal data will be saved and restored if needed.
I never use backups of system files/folders.
