Why does backing up halve the used space?!
Alright, so this is a pretty cool added bonus "feature" that I didn't expect. I am a new Acronis user.
Tonight I had to do some drive swapping in a couple Toughbooks. And after finishing, I noticed some oddities. The used space went down DRAMATICALLY!
The MK1 went from 68.7 GB to 36.1 GB.
The MK5 went from 67.8 GB to 25.2 GB.
I never thought backing up and recovering would be a way to save so much space.... Can anyone explain this?

Very hard to imagine that being 50%! I guessed that was a part of it, but the MK5 install was BRAND NEW.
But we are talking about Panasonic too... These were individuals installed driver packages, I guess I could see them leaving a LOT of junk behind. 25 GB sounds about right on the nose for that install.
