Description

Intelligent Sector Copy

Only backup data blocks that are being used by files on the disk. This significantly reduces the time it takes for backups to complete and reduces the size of the backup files. 

Info
The data blocks in Pagefile (pagefile.sys) and hibernation (hiberfil.sys) files will be excluded from images. Data blocks in these files files are temporary and not required when Windows starts.  These files will be visible in the imaged file system, but will take up zero space in the image file. 
Forensic Copy

Backup all data blocks. This may significantly increase the size of image files.  e.g., An image of a 1TB file system with only 1GB in use will contain 1TB of data blocks prior to any compression.
