Want to be able to restore operating system and user files in the event of sda failure. cf Windows full Backup/restore

Ist System back up:aim to be able to restore operating system and user files in the event of sda failure No previous restore points
Storage point path chosen /mnt/sdb1
Point Operations: Create New = 18:21 start Creating Store Point stopped at 18:45 i.e approx 24 minutes to complete
Restore point appears on systemback screen as 2016-01-07,18.20.59

SDB now still reads 149.3 GB Free NO file visible. ( incl hidden Files)
Please advise what is going on – what have I missed.
Also What is the difference between "SystemBack" and "Backup" in menu
