buisness built in or another. what type of compression ratio can i expect and
what type of back up to do. I have a 320GB hard disc some 60GB used at
present and i want to install a second hard drive to use as a back up.
 
Dear Alexandered,

Well if you want you can try to use the microsoft software built in in your
Vista business edition, but you can try to use a third party software as
"Backup4all professional". it's great and powerfull you can visit the the web
site: "www.backup4all.com" and it contain many features just try it and good
luck!!!
 
unfortunately this dose not answer the question "" what type of compression
ratio can i expect ???? ""

I recommend you do the backup to external media, such as an external eSata
or USB connected drive. Backing up to a second internal drive leaves you
open to loss of both drives in a system event.

Complete PC Backup which comes with Vista Business does imaging. It will
not compress when backing up to another hard drive

Acronis True Image Home version 10 works in Vista. Compression ratio
depends on the nature of the data, some is more compressible than others.
Getting a 2:1 compression ratio for files that are compressible is pretty
good, usually it's less than that.
