This is a walkthrough to help you create Disk Image backup.
Disk Image backups will deduplicate with other data existing inside your Storage Vault. For example, backing up Files and Folders and performing a Disk Image backup from the same hard drive will deduplicate, and provide you with a valuable storage savings.

Advanced Option: Include unused disk sectors for forensic data recovery
