Acronis True Image 2018 Backup size
i made a backup of my C - drive. now there is a great difference of the original data size and the backup size. the amount of data is about 127 GB, the recoverable data shown by acronis 2018 is only about 84 GB. now i am afraid the backup is not complete!

Welcome to these public User Forums.
Sorry that you have not had any response sooner.
There can be a significant difference in size between the actual data on your source drive and the backup image size of contents. This is because Acronis excludes some potentially large files & folders by default for a backup task, this includes the system pagefile.sys, swapfile.sys and hiberfil.sys along with the System Volume Information folders (used for System restore point storage).
If your backup completed successfully, then there should be no issue with being able to recover from the backup image. The above excluded files / folders are all automatically recreated by Windows during the boot process to the desktop.
