Tips: If the input is a compressed file, specify whether or not you want to decompress the output (by default, decompression is enabled any time a compressed file is selected as the input). If the input isn't compressed already, then specify whether or not you want to compress the output. Generally, if the input is a partition or NBD and you are making an image of it to a file, then you will probably want to compress the output.


6. Click the start to begin the operation. The window will change to show you the progress and some information on processing speed.
