what to do to compress files maximum for making backup of hard disk?


I nero back it up, which can compress up to 5%, is there anything to compress more than that? I normally have
music, video and software mainly. Do compression ratio depends on the fabric and compress?

Not really, compression utilities finding work like strings of bits and replace it with a code. Five percent is probably what you are going to get.

If you want to compress the entire disk, there is a way,
Right click on the drive and go to properties. In general, the section allows you to see boxes at the bottom left, check the box that says "compress to save disk space." That automatically compresses all that hard.
