 Mainly uses dd command with Zstd, Lzop or Gzip Compression.
 Can create images on ftp server or other local devices.
 Recent Test imaged a 1TB disk to a 62G image file to a local disk in 34 minutes using Zst compression.
 There is also an optiono to also install directly to Grub2 menu on linux using BLS or grub2 depending on Distro.
Need to update that and modify Readme.
