backups larger than file size

[cainind]

We back up to to shared removable 80gig hard drives on a seperate work station. Why is the data on the backup drive so much larger than the actual data being backed up? Is there a way to change this?

Hi,

The Backup to disk files that are created are always the same size as the data being backedup. We would suggest you to confirm with the same.

Please do send us the difference in the sizes of the data being backed up and the data that is being created on the drive.
