Just starting out a few questions

Just started trying Fbackup and I have a few questions:
I started with something simple I backed up (Mirror) a USB flash drive about 30g so about 1/2 worked fine did it again a couple of days later and it added the new files (about 80) worked like a charm.
So I decided to try something a little bigger the C: drive, 1st thing when I setup the mirror backup I got a popup that said (paraphrasing here) it would do the backup but it could not be used to restore the system drive. I took this to mean that if my C: drive failed I could not pop in a new drive, restore and be back up and running as if nothing happened. Is this correct ? If thats the case can backup4all do that or its not capable of doing that either ?
a 2nd little question on the mirror backups, I know it will add any new files and will update any changed files but if I delete files in the source will it delete them in the mirror backup? or move them from 1 directory to another on the source will they get moved on the destination ?
Thanks
Bill
