Is it possible to access files without mounting the image? I wanna clone my drive manly because my harddrive is gonna fail soon and i couldnt find any other ways to copy the whole disk fast…
another question i have is if it is normal that the image is smaller than the source disk? i have a 80gb disk drive and after i cloned it, the image is 60gb.. i think my drive was 75gb full atleast…
