Why is the compression ratio low?
The compression ratio depends on the type of data you are backing up. If the data is already compressed (for example, .zip, .cab, .jpg and .mp3 files) or does not compress well (for example, encrypted files), Firestreamer-RM will not be able to compress the data any further. As an indication, the compression ratio of 1.4-1.5 is pretty good.
