Thats not true of Acronis True Image. It will be smart enough to save only
the parts of the partition that are actually used with file systems that it
recognises and does a sector by sector image of those where it doesnt.

I've never tried it with a partition whose partition type is faked
to see if it can pick file systems with faked partition types.

It certainly handles more than just FAT and NTFS file systems.
