Question about Windows Backup

I have my OS and programs split between my 60GB SSD and a storage HDD, I have 32GB data on the SSD. When I run Windows backup utility, the file size of the image is 44GB...

Is the utility pulling the other program files off the storage HDD as well? It is, obviously, listed as a system drive.

I have a partitioned backup HDD for this purpose, but I only made the SSD Backup partition 60GB because, well, that's how big my SSD is. It isn't a problem yet, but could be in the future...
 
Try to think of this in reverse. How much free space is left on your SSD? If you're going by how much data you have, you may be failing to count show copies and such.
 
Well, boot says 23.9GB free, and SSD Backup says 13.2GB free... difference of about 10GB... and the backup partition actually has about 3GB more space available than the SSD.

Anyone?

This whole backup thing is confusing the hell out of me and, unfortunately, I may need to reimage my SSD.
 
IIRC Windows backup does this to leave space available for future incremental file backups wether you use the space or not 🙁
