Creating a backup image file

■ Click Ye s to proceed with the image file creation.
The system performs an integrity check of the file structure on the
source disk and then copies the source disk to the destination image file.

leaves the destination image file in an unknown state.
■ Click No to return to the menu.

next span of the image file.
