What is the free and used disk space of the source partition on that 1 TB disk?
Acronis True Image with me needs less than 10 minutes to make an image of a 64 GB SSD (less than 50 GB in use) to a 1 TB USB3 external disk. The image is 25 GB then, so it compacts it.

I have re-installed Windows 7 Ultimate on a 1 TB H.D. along with a few programs and I want to create a Drive Image with the Paragon Software, which I have been using for quite some time.
From my previous experience, this BUP image archive should be around 30-40 GB max.
To my surprise, it is a whopping 108 GB, I gather because the Drive Image software reads the unused space of the partition/drive.
Is there a way to create the Image BUP based on the actual content of the data on the drive ?
It would save a lot of time : usually such a BUP would take 15-20 minutes. It has taken now close to 2 hours and has almost maxed out the the external drive!
Thanks
