Why does this program do a complete backup of the hard drive

Um, because that would be the objective of a complete backup program?

I think the original post was to do with Windows ordinary backup and not the
complete backup (which is not supposed to be available on Vista Home
Premium). This is something that I have noticed on my own computer running
Home Premium. Not only are the data files which I have selected backed up
but also Program Files and Application Data and everything else is - thus
making the backup much larger than it needs to be.

Hi,
So choose the option to just backup files, select which file types you want,
and not do the whole computer.

Just a thought, the size of the drive might be 90Gb but if there is only
39.2Gb of data on it then only that will be backedup.
Also, I suspect that the data is compressed, so the size will never be the
same.
