Using VSS Snapshot (Volume Shadow Copy) you actually CAN create an image on the SAME partition that you are backing up. The image will not be in the backup. This would be useful if you did not have access to another partition or drive at the moment. You could transfer the image to another drive via USB , network, etc later. Of course, if you make another backup with the first image still there, it will be much larger.
