Is a raw image backup compressed?

Thread needs solution

I posted the following, but it did not appear at this forum. I try again.

The used space on my primary HDD is 96 GB, but I notice that the sector-by-sector (raw) backup I created is only 63 GB. Since Acronis states a raw image is not compressed, I'm wondering if the   backup failed, or is the backup file compressed. Anybody able to throw some light on the matter?
