True Image 2013 Large Image sizes

Thread needs solution

Hi Guys,

I am having an issue when we perform a backup. In most cases, backing up a 20-25GB partition gives a backup size of around 5-15GB which is normal for me. However, on rare occasions, the image size is extremely large sometimes in the vicinity of 30GB. The latest incident involves backing up a 90GB partition and the image is 55GB large. What can be causing this issue?

Amit, welcome to these public User Forums.

Sorry but impossible say why your backup sizes may vary as there are too many variables that can be involved.

I can only suggest reviewing the logs for your backup operation to see if these hold any clues?

Check what changes are occurring to the source data for these backups, i.e. have any OS or application changes or updates been installed?

If the backups are of disks and partitions, then try mounting the backup and then doing a compare between the source and backup data, or use a folder size tool to check for large files.
