Ah, noted. Thanks - that makes more sense.

To be specific, the Recovery Drive isn't a full disk image. It's a full restore of the OS (along with registry settings of various apps).

For example, if you like to do personal budgeting with MS Excel, the Recovery Drive will probably remember enough info about your MS Excel settings (perhaps even the license # to assist you in re-installing Excel). But it definitely won't be a backup copy of your budget spreadsheets.
