Yes, the system backup will automatically select and backup the necessary Windows system partitions, and the current version does not support adding additional partitions to the system backup image.
We strongly recommend that you create a separate backup task for the Windows system and data partitions.

However, when restoring, you have to select the whole disk to restore to ensure that Windows will boot normally, restoring the Windows partition separately will result in Windows not booting normally.
If I'm careful and ensure I have all the necessary Windows system partitions included along with any desired data partitions, I can restore Windows to a bare disk along with any desired data partitions and have a bootable system. (There is a warning about something similar but I think it really is warning against restoring C only and thinking the PC will boot without the smaller partitions)
