No!! I think it uses some compression technique!! That's why you'll need the same program to store it.. cuz different company's compression techniques could be different!!!
Yeah, they will all have some sort of a compression. In the previous PC, I have found that the fastest backup/restore speed is when using the default compression. But on this new PC, I have found that the sweet spot is another compression level higher, maybe because the CPU is a lot faster than the hard drive.
If you are using XP, there is another thing you can do the make your images slow.
You know, it's the Registry that's resposible for most of the problems related to Windows. If you could isolate Windows from programs and user profiles, you can make your images smaller and easy to manage. When the user profile is in another partition, when you restore an old image, you will still have your latest user preferences saved.
You can use nLite to make a custom XP CD which has different programfiles folder and documents&settings folder. But test it before you install - mainly with the drive letter. Windows doesn't give you the results you expect on the first run.

I think it's because of this school vacation. Oh...he just did his O/L's didn't he? That means, he's gonna get a long vacation: too long and by the end of it, his hard drive will have lost all of its magnetic properties.

You know, that image of 3.97GB is for the partition which is about 11GB data. Right now, my Vista Business Edition %windir% folder exceeds 6.8GB. You know, there is a disc imaging software in Vista, but it doesn't seem to compress the image so no use to me.
Anusha said:15GB for an image!!! You'll need a separate hard drive for the images alone
Yup!!! that thought did cross my mind few times!!! cuz as I go on my image also getz bigger!!! As a matter of fact I do have a separate 40GB, I can't afford lose the data that I'm having.....it's very important!!!
