    hankz - 2021-04-30

    Not sure if this is a problem or not. Just makes me nervous.
    Brand new machine. Win10. I wanted to make a back up disc, just in case. Ran Clonezilla live 2.64-10-i686.
    Everything seemed to go as planed. Looking at Disc Manager in windows the drive is a 120GB SSD. 3 partitions. I was cloning the whole disk. The main partition is 111.19 GB of which 86.4GB free. so 125GB used. If I look at the folder on the external drv that I sent it to properties says the folder is 12GB. Can this be right? Ran it a 2nd time, same result. I guess I would expect the repository filter to be a bit bigger.

    Thanks

    "The main partition is 111.19 GB of which 86.4GB free. so 125GB used." -> I believe you meant 25 GB is used?
    If so, since by default Clonezilla will compress the image, and normally it can be 1/2 to 1/3. Hence to me the image size 12 GB looks reasonable to me.

      Thanks. The compression was what I did not know.
