Selecting Data Compression Level - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE ENTERPRISE SERVER 8.0 User Manual

If you need to automatically create an image on CD-R/RW, DVD-RW or DVD+R/RW
media or a tape, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server will ask you to insert a new
disc (tape), when the previous is full.
You can also fix image file size by selecting Fixed size and entering the desired
size or selecting it from the drop-down list. By default, the value is in bytes, but you
can also use kilobytes and megabytes by adding needed units.
You can also split image file into several volumes, when storing it on a hard drive as well,
because in the future you'll be able to easily transfer these files onto CD-R/RW or DVD. And
creating images directly on CD-R/RW, DVD-RW or DVD+R/RW might take considerably
longer time then it would on a hard disk.

Selecting data compression level

On this step you must select the data compression level for image to be created.
If you select None, all data will be transferred into an image file as they are,
increasing the image size. The maximum compression might prolong image
creation.
The optimal data compression level depends on disk (partition) files types and can
only be understood empirically.
Usually, it is recommended to leave the switch in the Normal position. If you need
to burn image to removable media, you can select Maximum compression.
