    Copy/Update an existing snapshot to <new compressed snapshot> and give it another name.
    Remove the existing snapshot and change the name of the compressed snapshot into the old name.

    My advice : when you copy/update take the time to read all these screens thoroughly : source snapshot screen, destination snapshot screen, the full processing screen. Keep an eye on what is changed on these screens.
    Copy/update = create, copy, update, archive, restore and depends on what you decide to use in source snapshot and destination snapshot screens.
    You also can create, remove, copy, rename, archive (more than once), change the contents, ... snapshots at free will.
    All snapshots are INDEPENDENT and keep in mind that copy/update creates always IDENTICAL snapshots/archives and the source snapshot/archive decides what the destination snapshot/archive will be. Very important !!!

    Quick question more out of curiosity than anything else. The "Disable Pre-boot screen" option. When and / or why would you use this?

    Used to be you used it to take FDISR out of the mbr for imaging. But the combination of improvements in FDISR, and imaging programs, have changed all that. Fact is I don't remember the last time I disabled preboot.
