Compression tests ATI vs. IFW

In ALL tests the validation is included in the backups.

Terabyte Image For Windows v1.64d + PHYLock

System Partition = 10,850,520 KB (according properties of Window Explorer)

1. With compression.. : 7m42s (only compression = default)
.IMG = 2,097,152 KB
.001 = 2,097.152 KB
.002 = ..837,001 KB
TOTAL= 5,031,305 KB

2. No Compression.... : 8m27s
.IMG = 2,097,152 KB
.001 = 2,097,152 KB
.002 = 2,097,152 KB
.003 = 2,097,152 KB
.004 = ..367,377 KB
TOTAL= 8,755,985 KB

3. Acronis True Image : 7m29s (normal compression = default)
.TIB = 5,140,539 KB


The IFW-backup with compression AND validation byte-by-byte marked took 9m00s (unmarked = 7m42s)

As you can see there isn't much difference in time and volumes between IFW and ATI.

(I think that IFW does a much faster job for backup without compression.)
=================================================================
This is a separate test for ATI with the 4 compression levels.
How long does it take and how big are the volumes for each level ?

Acronis True Image Home 9.0 Build 3677

System Partition = 10,848,780 KB (according properties of Window Explorer)

1. Normal Compression : 07m18s = 5,139,445 KB (default compression)
2. High Compression.. : 07m32s = 4,529,790 KB
3. Maximum Compression: 13m44s = 4,412,288 KB
4. No Compression.... : 14m54S = 8,756,949 KB


Personally, I stick to the normal compression, the rest is useless.

 

Compression tests ATI vs. IFW

thankyou for information Eric
thorough as usual

 

Thanks Eric.

 

Thanks Meriadoc and aigle.
It was supposed to be ONE test, but I forgot to install IFW + PHYLock first.
That's why I had to do two separate tests.
The difference between the two partition volumes is very small.
If you substract both partition volumes you get the volume of IFW + PHYLock.

I couldn't restore the image with the IFD-floppy.
As I said before Terabyte isn't very userfriendly and the first menu that appeared after reboot was already a problem. I didn't know what to choose.

In Belgium we have very hot weather (35 Celsius) and I was too muzzy.
More than 25 celsius makes me brainless.
