The location of the Backup Target may not be enough to store your backup file/s even though you have specified a number of targets. Therefore, WinBackup 2.0 offers three levels and methods of compression.  You can choose one of the following compression levels:

• Fast (Low Compression)

• Normal (Medium Compression)

• Max (Maximum Compression)

 

 

The higher the compression, the smaller the backup output will be.  However, the job will take longer to complete.

 

The maximum compression WinBackup can perform is 70%.  This makes the source data significantly smaller.  There are major factors which effect compression and some files may not be compressed.  This is because, for example, some files are already compressed and cannot be compressed further.  

 

Examples of such files include:.

exe Program setup executable files

.jpg, .jpeg, .gif Image files

.zip, .rar, .ace, .cab Archives pre-compressed by products like WinZip
