Yes of course - but my question was more about comparing and LD image to a BCK saveset - BCK saveset don't really like being move by FTP (and for some reason ZIP keeps crashing when I try to compress this particular saveset, maybe due to it's size, 80 GB)..

So I'm restoring the save set to an LD disk image instead and will move that across and as I thought its format is not going to get corrupted in transit (provided I use image mode).
