Disk imaging - "sparse" vs. standard.
Some newbie questions about images:
1) Can I add to sparse images? 1a) If so, does the sparse image need to be manually booted for addition to take place? 2) As long as it is located on a separate volume, can I boot from sparse images? 3) Can I add to "standard" disk images? 3a) If so, does the "standard" disk image need to be manually booted for addition to take place? If the answer to 1 and 2 is "yes", what are the practical reasons for choosing "standard" disk images as opposed to sparse images for backup, beyond differences in file size? I am not sure if I formulated the questions appropriately and relevantly, but I would like to understand the implications of going one way or another before deploying my SD backup program. Thank you.
