Sparse Image Size
 

Hello,

I'm doing a Smart Backup of my home directory. After a few weeks, I've got a sparse image that is 20 gigs large, but when I mount it, the total size of all the backed up data is only 4 gigs. What is accounting for the other 16 gigs?

Thanks again for the excellent software. It is very easy to use.

Unfortunately, OSX doesn't seem to reuse freed space in the sparse image very efficiently. You can shrink the image, though -- see this thread for the technique.
