v11 Email backup is only 75K?

I just looked at the output of a scheduled backup task of type Email in v11. It was only 75k, even though the Outlook files being backed up were in excess of 100MB. I had this problem in v10 as well. Looks like a bug to me; anyone else have a similar problem?

On a more positive note, an email backup with the exact same configuration that was run immediately instead of being run as a scheduled task worked as expected.

Could there be something wrong with the 'Schedule a backup task' wizard, or whatever you call it?

 

Forgot to mention: this was a FULL backup. I double-checked.

 

I have a similar question: Have made a full backup of my dual boot linux partition and the backup file is like 1.3 MB whereas the disk-manager says the partiton is a little more than 3 GB of USED space, meaning the data in is larger than the backup file. This may be correct, though, as the image may very well use COMPRESSION. However, not wanting to imagine things, I am hereby asking if compression is indeed used in the backups of True-Image. I actually searched the backup and was able to extract a specific file and it was correct. However, I am hesitant of making conclussions yet. The purpose of this question is to test temporarily anothere Linux version, while the one I alredy have is working OK so I want to re-instate it after temporarily removing it. So, kind help and advise is appreciated.

Hello mbl,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Could you please clarify if the archive size is 1.3 MB or 1.3 GB? Acronis True Image uses a "normal" level of compression by default, but compressing 3GB of data into 1.3MB would be impossible.
Please also clarify, what version and build of Acronis True Image did you use? You can find the full version name and build number by going to Help -> About... menu in the main program window. Did you run the backup procedure from within Windows, or using Acronis Bootable Rescue Media?

Thank you.
