Purchase a third party solution, I've use http://www.handybackup.com/

Can I change to Seagate Backup Exec for Windows 95 or will it not work?

Built-in NTBackup is a MAJOR POS. It only supports
compression when it is done in hardware by the backup device
(as in some tape drives, not for HD's).

Dump it and buy a third party solution.

Yes, I am using the XP built-in NTBackup. I am not backing up to a
tape
drive
but to another hard drive. However, the hard drive I am backing up to
will
not hold the back up. If I cannot compress it before it is backed up
then
it
will not fit on the hard drive. Can I change to Seagate Backup Exec
for
Windows 95 or will it not work? Is there any other options?

What backup program are you using?

If you are using the XP built-in NTBackup and the Compress option is
disabled, this usually indicates that you are not backing up to a tape
drive.

Alternately, you can use the XP compression feature to store the
file in
a compressed folder.

When I backup my data it will not even give me the option of
compressing my
data which I greatly need to do. Help says something about
changing
compression for the internet however I have cable internet and
that
does not
apply to me. What can I do to compress my data as it is being
backed
up on my
Windows XP computer?
