Imaging to/from files

• • Imaging is a process where DFSee objects like disks or partitions are copied into a regular (often compressed) image-FILE
  • • You NEED regular file-level access in the OS you are running to read/write this imagefile!
  • Can use 'smart' technology to skip unused areas
  • Images can be restored to the same or to a different object, but keep the SAME size!
  • Imaging is used for backup and restore, including data transfer between systems
