- backup any disk partition, including "live" and "hidden"

- backup entire disk, including "live"

- create an ISO CD-ROM or DVD-ROM image
- create a floppy disk image
- check MD5 signature of a partial or complete data object
- fast sector-level transfer

Usage: dsfo source offset size destination

Note: null size is interpreted as max possible output

negative size is calculated on current file size
negative offset is calculated from end of file
use "$" as destination to check MD5 signature only

Example: dsfo c:\tmp\my.avi -50000 0 test.bin

dsfo \\.\d: 0 512 c:\0\partition-sectors.dat
dsfo \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 0 0 \\srv\shr\tmp\first.dsk
dsfo \\.\a: 0 0 "c:\tmp\floppy disk image.img"
dsfo \\.\e: 0 0 d:\CDROM_or_DVD_image.iso

To backup a "hidden" partition (no assigned letter), first run vlm to find its
unique volume name, then copy and paste it to dsfo, eg:
dsfo \\.\Volume{ac837e69-551d-11d9-9a3c-806d6172696f} 0 0 c:\tmp\my.dat

Check MD5 signature only: dsfo \\.\g: 0 2048 $

The offset argument has to be "0" with non-file objects.

2) dsfi

dsfi can overwrite a block of data of any size at any location within a file.

Also:

- restore disk partitions (no resizing)

- restore entire disk (no resizing)
- restore a floppy disk image
- join two files
- fast sector-level transfer

Usage: dsfi destination offset size source

Note: null size is interpreted as max possible input

negative size is calculated on current file size
negative offset is calculated from end of file
use "e" as offset to indicate end of file

Example: dsfi c:\tmp\my.avi -50000 0 test.bin

dsfi \\.\d: 0 512 c:\0\partition-sectors.dat
dsfi \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 0 0 \\srv\shr\tmp\first.dsk
dsfi \\.\a: 0 0 "c:\tmp\floppy disk image.img"

To join two files type: dsfi file1 e 0 file2

The offset argument has to be "0" with non-file objects.

3) fsz

fsz can be used to create a file or truncate/extend an existing one.

No file size limits (on NTFS).

Usage: fsz file size (in bytes, no limits - be careful)

Example: fsz data.fil 15773

4) rsz

rsz can be used to truncate or extend a file.
