I'm not great with software, partitions, images etc. I understand setting main boot drives and slave in the bios but I have never really gone any further than that.

Until now my 1tb Spinpoint F3 has been my primary drive with OS, photos, games literally everything on but I have a 500Gb internal drive that I keep in the draw (not part of the computer) that I manually copy all my personal media to every so often. For arguments sake I have around 200Gb of stuff I Do Not want to lose.

What I have now decided to do is install a 500Gb Barracuda drive permanently and set it up to backup monthly. I used Seagates DiscWizard software and created a backup. My question though is why is the backup of 269Gb only 119Gb?

Hope that makes sense...

Much appreciated :)
 
Have you got compression enabled in the backup software? Are you sure it's actually backed up everything - is there a way of seeing what the backup contains?
