longer time then it would on a hard disk.
Selecting data compression level
Now you must select the data compression level for the image to be created.
If you select None, all data will be transferred into an image file as they are,
increasing the image size. Maximum compression might reduce the program
performance and prolong image creation.
Image data compression level selection
The optimal data compression level depends on disk (partition) file types and can
only be understood empirically.
Usually, it is recommended that you leave the switch in the Normal position. If you
need to create an image as fast as possible, select minimal compression. If you
need to burn an image to removable media, you can select maximum compression.
Protecting images with passwords
An archive file with a partition (disk) image can be protected with a password. To
protect an partition (disk) from being restored by anybody except you, enter a
password and its confirmation into the text fields of the wizard page Image Archive
Protection
. A password should consist of at least eight symbols and contain both
letters (in the upper and lower cases preferably) and numbers to make it more
difficult to guess.
