There's not much point in backing up the ENTIRETY of drive C: with

Windows running in the first place. Although the Windows 7 built-in
backup tool apparently does so. If you really want to backup all of
that, you are better off with a disk imaging software rather than a
backup software -- that will copy even non-file structures such as the
boot records.
My backup program lets you create a bootable CD-ROM to recover either
files from backups or an entire drive image. I've the C: drive fail and
it was a breeze restoring to a new one. That's why you want to backup
the entire C: drive. In fact, all the backup programs I've used over
the years allowed that.
