Selecting Compression Level; Protecting Images With Passwords - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE SERVER 8.0-LINUX User Manual

Creating images under X Window System
You can also select fixed image size by selecting Fixed size and entering or selecting the
desired value. By default, the size is provided in bytes, but you can also use kilobytes or
megabytes by appending respective units.
The size of an image file, destined to removable media, is set automatically.
It's a good idea to create fixed-size images on a hard disk if you plan to burn them onto a CD-R/RW or
DVD+R/RW media later.

Selecting compression level

On this stage, you need to select the desired compression level.
If you select None, the data will be imaged without any compression, which will significantly
increase image size. However, if you select maximum compression, the image will take
longer to create.
Optimal compression level depends on the type of files stored on the disk (partition), so you
can determine it empirically.
Generally, it is recommended that you use the default Normal compression level. You may
want to select Maximum compression for removable media to reduce the number of blank
disks required.
