Solve : Backup takes a lot of space.?

Answer»

I just made backup from computer to portable EXTERNAL drive ( IOMEGA)and noticed that it took ~138 GB of space in that HD, but everything in computer ,INCLUDING OS is about 96GB .Why there is a difference in volume?I `m gessing that becouse i have about 30GB in High Definition video in AVCHD H.264 format that beeing decoded to another format,and decompressed? Anybody have answer to it?So it's bad that you have 96G of data and the backup is 13G ? ?
What am i missing here ? ?
What backup app are you using ? ?Quote from: patio on May 17, 2010, 07:34:22 PM

Your math needs a refresher course, read his post again buddy.How did i not see that 8 ? ?

PS...it's probably not my glasses...
There's Scotch involved. Gin is better on the eyes!

edit. He should try the backup over from start.
Break it into two parts. One for the videos, the other for everything else.I'd still like to know what he's using...I just using Windows backup for this task.When i connect my Iomega portable HD ,autoplay ask me if i want to backup FILES with Windows (7),and i click it.I don`t get it! I erased all data from portable drive I was talking about and run backup again ,using MICROSOFT backup (windows7).And what i see is it used 211GB of space in portable HD,while total of memory used in computer:driveC:123GB and in drive D:9.73GB, so total memory used in PC:133GB. So, again I`m asking knowledgeable people to explain this to me.Opened Iomega hard drive ,there are 85GB of winzip files and Image backup 123GB of VHD files.What tipe of VHD files and why it size don`t match my video files.As i mention before i have High definition video of about 38Gb in H.264 compression and maybe this video being converted to another type and it took 123Gb of space?
