File size

Thread needs solution

Acronin True Image 10
Windows XP reports the backup file size as approx 159GB
Acronis claims under normal compression the file will be approx 96 GB
Why the difference?

True Image will compress (normal) the files so that the reduced size will be about 65-70% of used space. Final file size will be basically determined by how many already pre-compressed files you have on your disk.

Text files can be compressed a lot;
but audio files or picture files or pdf files are already compressed so they will be placed inside the file without additional reduction in size.
