 +===== Last step: Transfer the image to the server =====

 +You could just copy the image as is, but it is even smarter to make a sparse file.  That way only actual data is copied and not the empty sectors. ​ You can do this under linux with the cp command:
 +<​code>​
 +cp --sparse=always disk.img /​media/​server-data/​disk-images/​disk.img
 +</​code>​
 +
 +If you installed to a physical machine, boot up the machine with a live linux cd, become root and do this command:
 +<​code>​
 +cp --sparse=always /dev/sda /​media/​server-data/​disk-images/​disk.img
 +</​code>​

 +- Since Ubuntu is Debian based, these steps should work with Debian too but I haven'​t tried it myself 
 + 
 +- You cannot create sparse images if you copy to a windows or samba network share, use nfs/ssh/nc (netcat) instead. ​ Here is an example with nc (netcat):
  
 +Client side:
 +<​code>​
 +cat /dev/sda | nc -l -p 1234
 +</​code>​
  
 +Server side:
 +<​code>​
 +nc <​client-ip>​ 1234 | cp --sparse=always /dev/stdin disk.img
 +</​code>​
