Anyone know does the XP Backup Utility support compression? I'm backing up from one drive to another, so I'm not sure if this would be Software or Hardware compression? If I can do it, how good is the compressions: would the XP utility take a 5Gig backup and compress it down to 3 or 4Gig's?

Well if anyone can answer that question, I'd like to know Thanks all.

I don't think it does. Maybe you can RAR or ZIP the file when it is done. I've done that before.
