Backup Compression in AOMEI Backupper
Determine a proper compression level for your current backup task. The Normal option is selected by default and is recommended, but you may also select Higher or None.
When creating a new backup task, you can click the "Options" button and then click "Advanced" to set up the compression level.
See more details as follows:
-
None: Data will be imaged without any compression, so the image file size will be equal to your original data.
-
Normal: Data will be compressed to a moderate level. It is a recommended compression level. (Default)
-
High: A much higher compression level is used during the backup. The image file will be smaller than other levels, but the backup will take longer to complete.
Please note that some kinds of files are essentially compressed, such as .jpg, .pdf, or .mp3. If your backup contains many such files, the generated image file might not significantly decrease even when a High compression level is selected.
