Acronis True Image has multiple compression options. Go into the options screen before burning.

Wind - Windows? Really?

Ty for your help, I am so confused because why is my Doc and setting folder in C-drive so big, cause I did transfer all mu personal stuff on D-drive/

  Ok, I will look in ACRONIS for compression again,/ I don't mind to use 2 dvd for burnign IMAGE,but dvd burner is KICKING my DVD out saying NOT ENOUGH SPACe,so How can I do this?? Well I will try all this again, ty so much for your help

 PS Which cd burner is best and is ACRONIS good for IMAGE please?

[Allan]

In my opinion Acronis is the best.

So, your Documents folder is part of this image file? How large is your Documents folder?  If removing your Documents folder from the files being backed up to the disk image would alleviate this problem, why not just create a separate backup for your Documents folder?

[Allan]

You can disable system restore before doing the backup. That will get rid of your restore points which are undoubtedly taking a lot of space.

DVD size is 4.2G last time i checked....
That's why it got kicked.

However if Acronis is used properly it has a built in spanning tool for more than 1 blank media...

medium

[patio]

Media is plural...cut it out.

                  

[Allan]

Exactly - you said "One blank media" "One" is singular.

more than 1 blank media..
