AB&R 11.5 Long and Full

Thread needs solution

Greetings all, I am using the software to backup a 2TB HDD that is about 75% full. I am backing it up to another 4TB drive a WD My Book. Like I just mentioned the 2tB is only about 75% full I have just under 500GB free on this drive. However, the backup drive is now approaching 3GB of space used simply from this back up. I have the compression set to normal, yet it seems to be inflating the data backup rather than compressing it.
In addition this is the 3rd straight day of backing up and I just now at 92%. I think I have done something wrong. Anyway, I can get a bit of help?

Hello Mathew,

I'm sorry for the delayed answer.

Even if backup is done in forced sector-by-sector mode (e.g. due to a file system error) it shouldn't be bigger than the source drive itself. 

Please contact our support for investigation. (You'll need to register your trial, please follow this guide)

Thank you.
