Your question can't be answered better than cprestion did. How much data will compress almost totally depends on the kind of data. Try using Windows send to compressed folder or 7Zip to see what we're talking about. Try zipping a directory with MP3 files. They will not compress much, if at all. Now try compressing a directory with text files, word docs, excel files... they will compress really well. For extra credit, google how to create a file full of zeros and see how that baby compresses. This used to be a kind of hack to crash BBS servers back in the day. When you would upload a file to share they would decompress the file to virus scan it. You could create a 100mb file of zeros, compress it to like 100kb and upload it. This is when 100mb was HUGE. it would fill up the servers HD and crash it. good times :) +-- |This was sent by junk...@hotmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

Thanks cpreston, ive been trawling through the release notes, admin guide etc and also Google but there doesnt seem to be anything which would give me a specific ratio but i'll take it as standard compression but wish the Symantec doc's were a little more detailed.

Standard compression ratio rules apply. Your mileage may vary, but it's typically going to be 1.5:1 to 2:1 or so. +-- |This was sent by wcplis...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
