Hi Julian,

Referring back to the original question - which involved a FAT32 
partition sized *8GB*, with *5.6GB* of RAW data going to an HPFS drive 
-- assume with usual compression of about [1.6-1.8]:1.00 about 3.3GB 
compressed, *that* won't fit on any *HPFS* drive AFAIK, even *IF* you 
have >2GB filesize support in info-zip, I haven't seen AFAIR any mention 
of it being released yet.

What size output zip file are you creating from those full partition 
backups?
