Backup Size problem when using Acronis True Image Home 2011 on Raid 0 SSDs
I've ran into a backup size problem using Acronis True Image Home 2011 to backup two OCZ Agility 2 Sata 120 GB drives that are in Raid 0.
The Raid 0 configuration was created through the Bios and Win 7 Pro was installed on it. Total size of the array is 230 GB. Used space (Win 7 Pro and Drivers) is around 40 GB. When using Acronis to backup the used space (Sector by Sector NOT selected), the estimated backup size is around 23 GB for Normal Compression. However, the actual backup size turns out to be 5.8 GB. Something is definitely wrong when the actual backup size is 4 times less than the Acronis estimated size.
I've tried performing the backup by booting from the Acronis disk as well as from initiating the backup when Acronis is installed. I've also tried an uncompressed backup which resulted in an actual size of 14GB instead of the used space of 40 GB. I've tried saving the backup to another internal drive array as well as an external drive. Always with the same result.
I've attempted to generate Acronis System Reports without any luck.....
I suspect the problem is with the source drives. Has anyone ran into this sort of problem when trying to backup their Raid 0 SSDs with Acronis? Any ideas on how to resolve the problem are greatly appreciated.....
Here's some information about my system:
Asus P8P67 Pro B3 Motherboard
CPU: i7 - 2600, 3.4 Ghz
16 GB RAM
Two OCZ Agility 2 Sata 120 GB drives in Raid 0 (Bootable OS drive)
Four WD 7200 RPM Sata 2 TB drives in Raid 5 (Storage drive)

Hello Richard and Pat,
Thank you for posting and thank you for your assistance Pat.
Richard, I would like to provide you with additional assistance as well.
Could you send me these reports please so that I can check Acronis program logs and your disk structure:
Could you also create a backup using the bootable media and let us know its size?
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
