Thanks Dwight,
I'll have to look it up. I'm thinking this may be a significant feature for places 
that do a archives of huge unmber of files that require the whole package to be 
tretrieved. In this case, the database entries would be a single entry instead of 
perhaps several hundred thousand. Correct?....Assuming for can use the image feature 
for archives.

used for "image" backups ;-)
for backing up "raw" volumes (or any logical volumes...)
Say you have a file system with only 10 GB but it has a million files in
it... the overhead in backing up a million files is BAD but you could
perform an image backup of the logical volume on which the file system
resides and it would be much quicker due to the lesser amount of overhead.
Granted you have to restore it as a whole but...

so that is what it is used for.

should have seen it earlier though.
