I just used Windows Backup and Restore to create a system image. It appears (on the external hard drive) to be about half the size of Windows and all my programs/files on my internal hard drive. I just want to make sure I did it correctly. Does the image undergo compression during creation?
Hi amitemurray, a quick and simplistic answer to your excellent question is "Yes"……generally!
