1 hour is the longest? How big is the partition for a 1 hour backup?

Personally, I've used Terabyte Unlimited's dos based, bios direct backup software. The lastest version has many more options but if you select a byte for byte, bit for bit image validation and high compression rate, it takes a good long while for a 100 gig backup. I know those options are worth it tho because it copies every single bit/byte on the partition including the empty blocks. But it lets you use a usb, dvd, cd, network back up method and handles raid arrays really well. I've yet had a bad image.
