Hard Drive Image Capture - Drive Size Issue

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I am trying to capture an image for future use as a deployment image of our Windows 7 base build. The image should be 26.6 GB but when Acronis captures it, it captures the entire drive (489 GB). How do I restrict the backup down to just the data on the hard drive and not the free space?

Thanks!

Hi Erik,
thank you for your posting.
Please make sure that you don't use "sector-by-sector" backup option: https://kb.acronis.com/content/1543
Also please note that program switches to sector-by-sector mode when file system is not supported or when file system has errors that prevent program from its recognition.

List of supported file systems: http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/AcronisBackup_11.5/#…

Thank you,
