Hi everybody,
I am using Winclone 8.2 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 and today performed a backup of my Bootcamp partition which has 259 GB. The Winclone Backup lasted for 3 and a half hour and the resulting backup folder was only 139,6 MB! The program says successful backup, no error, and the verifying process went fine too. So I checked the log file. Here I found a lot of remarks like “Last message repeated 82 times” and sometimes even repeated 300 times. The log file says it completed 186 GB which could be a reasonable amount of data concerning the 259 GB bootcamp folder.
But now I am not sure, whether I could rely on this backup in times of “Russian Cyber attacks”. Could anybody help me??

As for the image size, look in the image by right clicking on it in the finder and selecting “show package contents” , then look at Windows.wim or boot.img.gz. Those are the actual data files and the size is more accurate.
