Have you tested the low compression level of HBS? How much time did the low compression level take?

I'm quite curious about how Acronis True Image can generate such a small image file.

New tests:

Hasleo 5.6.1.1 Beta

A number of years ago Acronis switched from .tib format to .tibx format. Image size using the older .tib format would have been very comparable to Hasleo's image size. The new .tibx format was a complete rework and is more space efficient. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how they accomplish it as they are very closed about disclosing anything.
