Backup only "filled" (=used) sectors?
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2015 10:10 am
I have a 32GB USB flash drive.
This device is used by only 15% (as indicated e.g. by partition management tools).
However when I use USB image tool to create a backup then the resulting image is (uncompressed) 32 GB and compressed approx 21 GB.
How comes?
Is there a mode which backups really really only occupied sectors and omit free sectors?
