Yeah, true... might have to use linux for the backups for that though xD... or the new linux subsystem in Windows FWIW.
That has me thinking... I bet 7zip could shrink that down a bit more still.... then again, I'm pretty happy with my 673MB images of a 8GB memory card! :-O
Many thanks for the pointers though... I will probably give that a try at some point. That plus knocking some sense into dd so it give some progress stats...
