Abstract
A local imager () copies each allocation unit () occupied by a file () of a file system () to a locally-stored image file () within the same partition () as the file system (). The allocation units () may be compressed as they are copied, resulting in a locally-stored image file () that occupies fewer allocation units () than the original file system (). In addition, the local imager () adds a directory map () to the locally-stored image file () that associates copied allocation units () in the locally-stored image file () with names of corresponding files () from the file system ().
