Question about documents backed up with Copy and Restore

Using Vista SP2, I noticed that I had some pics in my documents folder. It was being backed up via "Copy and Restore" even though I had not checked pictures as one type of file that I wanted backed up. I moved the pics to the pictures folder and then backed up, again. When done, I tried restoring the "back up" just made to see what files were available, I noticed that the pictures, originally in documents folder, were still shown, as being a folder in documents, and able to be restored. Why are the pictures being backed up, when not in documents and the back up picture option is not checked?
