Figure 12. Image file size selection
If you work with removable media, the size of a file of an image is set automatically.
FAT16 and FAT32 file systems have a limit for file sizes. The FAT16 limit is 2GB, while
FAT32 is 4GB. Existing hard drives have capacities of 160GB and above! Therefore, an
image file might easily exceed this limit. In this case, Acronis Master Image Creator will
automatically split the image into several files.
If you need to automatically create an image on CD-R/RW or DVD+R/RW
media or a tape, Acronis Master Image Creator will ask you to insert a new
disk or tape when the previous one 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.
4.1.6.
Selecting data compression level
In this step, you must select the data compression level for the image to be
created.
If you select None, all data will be transferred into an image file as they are,
increasing the image size. On the other hand, the maximum compression
might reduce program performance and prolong image creation.
