The default setting in 'File and Folder' backup is to include System files. This is because underneath the \users\ folder there are many files with the 'System' attribute set that contain application/user data.
'pagefile.sys' exists in the root of the system drive. This folder is not generally required to backup user data, so including System files will not cause this file to be backed up.
