Space required for backup

Thread needs solution

I'm attempting to backup a partition of 67GB of which 34GB is used to a partition of 206GB of which 129GB is used. A warning says there might not be enough space??? I tried anyway & the backup stops saying there isn't enough space. I checked to see how large the partial backup is & it's 135GB??? Any comments?

Are you sure you selected to backup just that one partition? 34 GB of data would not become a 135 GB .tib archive.

Also, do not select to backup sector-by-sector.

@tuttle- That was my point. Found the problem. True Image selected preselected another partition(600GB) automatically that I didn't see. Gotta' love "automatic" things. I usually work in small windows. All good now. Thanks.
