Missing Data
I recently purchased Acronis True Image for Windows 7 x64. I made image of "C" disc which contains the OS and data. The size of "C" is 76 GB. The image of "C" made by ATI is 61 GB. I am not using any compression and not excluding any data. Why is the image smaller than the original? Why is 15 GB of data missing from the backup?
Thanks. GL

G. Lacey,
Open Windows Disk Management and look at your disk in graphical view. If you have partitions other than C, then you should create a new backup and include all your partitions in the backup. This is especially important in windows 7 should you want or need to a replacement or larger disk.
Depending on how Windows was installed, you may or may not have other partitions but many Win 7 installations do have boot partitions and/or diagnostic partitions which need to be included in at least some of your backups.
