Is this normal?

Thread needs solution

I have a gaming PC that has a 120GB SS drive and about it currently has about 80GB being used. When I perform a cloud backup, on the screen it says something to the effect of 13GB of cloud use.

Is this normal? The indication is, that the cloud backup has been performed.

Thanks
Bill

Possibly. For 2 reasons: first is compression. A typically raw Windows installation (I don't know, maybe 30 to 50GB) could be compressed to (15 to 20GB). Second, not all data is backed up: hibernation, paging, volume shadow copies, indexes, and a bunch of Microsoft VOlume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) exclusions listed in the registry.
