Gottfried, I compress my backup data even though I have lots of room on the backup hard drive. It's a 120g vs 40g for the primary. The reason is I like to have multiple backups. I never copy over the last backup I made. If something fails during backup, I might lose everything. I also keep 2 image backup files of OS and programs, replacing the oldest each time I make a new one. I have things archived on the backup drive as well. With compression I never have to worry about running low on space. Compressing backups is easy using the free SyncBack backup program. Since it just uses the OS zip functionality, it is not necessary to run the program to restore a file. Just drag and drop in Windows Explorer. The unzipping is transparent. Esteban
