Are all (even hidden) partitions backuped?

Assume I have a bootable USB flash drive with three partitions.
Two of them are hidden.

Now when I backup the USB flash drive with the USB image tool are then really all partitions backuped including the hidden ones and including the boot sector stuff?

Can I verify this somehow?

Thank you
Peter

In device mode, yes.

Ok, thank you.

However as I learned "Device Mode" backups save ALL sectors (even the empty ones).
I want to avoid this.

So when I switch to "Volume mode" are all the (hidden) partitions backuped as well (induding the boot sectors)?

No, Volume mode backups only visible partitions. The boot sector is not part of a volume.
