To me, mirroring means maintaining 2 copies of identical data on separate drives for protection against data loss. So, it isn't compression.

As far as storing 4GB on a 1.4MB floppy goes, that's either rubbish, or an incredibly lossy type of compression. Or the 4GB of data is a collection of photographs of a black cat in a coal cellar. At night, with the light off.

you can check zdnet or cnet. i have found alot of useful, free software. some cost money, some is shareware, and some is free. usually even if it's not freeware, you can use the free trial version. you get most of the features of the software and its enough to do what you need.

So far there is no way to compress 4GB into 1.44MB without major lose in data. If it works, one DVD will hold 4000 hrs of movies. Try to compress a 4GB DVD movie into 1.44MB and watch the result.

Or it is a mirroring software that fit on a floppy and can mirror/backup up to 4GB files? This sounds much better because 4GB is the file size limit of NTFS use in Windows XP.
