Windows 7 backup/image is ok for simple imaging of the root install drive (the operating system). I don’t think it was meant for anything else.
Using the restore function from the option to create a rescue disc works nicely too.
I’ve made several images of C drive in various stages of fresh set up and they all work as advertised.
The menus are simple enough to go through…very simple with not too many “advanced” options though.

I do believe there are configurable options in the “change settings” section of the “backup and restore” window that will remember
your choices. I don’t recall seeing any references to a compression option though.

The part I don’t care for is burning 4 or 5 dvd disc just to create an image of an os for simple back up purposes.

Overall a decent effort on Microsoft’s part to come up with it’s own backup/image solution. If you have more complex needs
it’s probably best to remove/ uninstall this and go purely with a 3rd party solution.
