For what it's worth (a bit late). I'm surprised no one mentioned
ntfsclone. This will save you from copying unused blocks. Just check
that you can restore the image, as there was a version of ntfsclone in

No, he's talking filling with zeros unused blocks. That's a prerequisite
to optimize for a sparse image _on the other side_ and/or compression
during the transfer.
I know of an ext2/3/4 utility that does precisely that. I have no idea

Hi,
I need to transfer a local raw image to another datacenter.
Is there a way to achieve good compression of this image, I heard of
tools overwriting unused space with zeros. Is this a good idea?
It's an W2k8 image/NTFS.
Thx

its cool as long as you use a lossless compression format like bz2
