File format size?

Thread needs solution

I have ATI 2010.

Which file format will give me the same protection and the smallest backup file size. Zip or .tib? Thanks for any help.

Hello Joseph,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

It depends on which compression level you use for .tib archives and type of files you archives. I suppose the only way is to test it.

The size of the backup archive used with normal compression level method depends on the files you compress. So normal compression level method is different for different files.

For example, even maximum compression will not significantly reduce the archive size if the archive contains essentially compressed files, like .jpg, .pdf or .mp3. Generally, it is recommended that you use the default Normal compression level. You might want to select Maximum compression for removable media to reduce the number of blank disks required.
