compressing acronis image

[Bud]

I have acronis and used it to do a backup of a raid 0 array i have (nothing special) but the image is sooooo big. Is there a program i can use to compress the file even more?

Do you use the high compression when creating the images?? :)

[Bud]

yup

Then probably not... :(

[Shorty]

Nope, the compression is very good already. Compressing the image even more may actually increase the size due to compression overhead.

Question?

Is Icronis imaging the pagefile as well? That can be quite big and you may want to go into deeper settings to untick that file if possible as it's not necessary for the image.

Or move the pagefile to a different partition then take the image.
