Unexpected image file size increase

Post by DrTeeth »

Hi,

I increased a partition by 75GB and was surprised to see the full
backup increase in size by the same amount as the "backup unused
sectors" option is NOT selected. Surely adding unused space to a
partition should not increase the size of the backup at all should it?

OS Win 8.1 - x64, IfW 3.22 x64.

DrT,

Is it a BitLocker partition?

Hi Brian,

Nope.

All I did was increase the size of my win 7 partition from 125,000MB
to 200,000MB. The increase was free space, i.e. nothing was installed
after this.

The full backup increased in size by roughly 75,000MB from the
pre-resize size.

Re: Unexpected image file size increase

Post by TeraByte Support(PP) »

Comparing these two backups isn't going to tell you much since the first one is a differential. All you can look at is the partition size and what it shows for allocated and backed up sectors. The Windows 7 partition has increased in size, but the data on it is roughly the same.

How does the size compare to the last full backup (assuming no other changes back to that point)?

The full backup taken after increasing the size of the Win 7 partition
was 75000MB larger, roughly the size of the increase.

I have not downloaded it as I am not using Bitlocker.

I saw a report of it fixing IFW imaging in a non BitLocker system. (Wilders Forum)
