Hello @Lazza,

i added 2 Hooks for Fuji.

  1. Hook "Create an un-compressed (UDRW) acquisition .dmg-file" (Standard: false)
  2. Hook "Delete temporary image file after acquisition" (Standard: false)

Why?
The first Hook:
a commonly used forensic tool called X-Ways Forensics does not support the UDZO image format, only UDRW is supported. Therefore I have added the option to select it here. Leier I was not able to calculate the effect on “Free Space”. With a volume (APFS -100MB with 10 MB used memory) the .dmg was then approx. 1.2 GB in size.
You are also welcome to write to X-Ways Forensics (mail@x-ways.com) and ask for additions. You can also point out the compression. (The UDZO Image is an UDIF zlib-compressed read-only image).

The second Hook:
After creating the image, Fuji can also delete the temporary image (.sparsefile) if you like. Since it is optional, you can have it deleted immediately.

the values of the hooks are also available on the overview page.

So it could maybe the version 1.2

I am pleased to hear from you.

By the way, the backup here was successfully performed with a MacBook Pro (M1) with MacOS 15.3.2.

hdiutil convert -format “UDRO” if ticked, otherwise “UDZO”
so X-Ways Forensics can also open the created .dmg file.

Hi @BrunoFischerGermany, thank you for the suggestions.

I am considering changing some of the code related to producing the final image (the one that is currently a DMG with UDZO compression, as you correctly pointed out). For instance, the output file for Sysdiagnose could be changed to ZIP, and so on.

Thus, a different type of UI option would be needed for two reasons:

  • To avoid cluttering the main window
  • To ensure that DMG options are only shown for modules that generate a DMG file

I will keep this PR pending for now.

Hi @Lazza
I think another suggestion could be to optionally create the report as a PDF file. Maybe with pdfme. Pdfme uses @prosch88 at UFADE to create the PDF files. https://github.com/prosch88/UFADE

Best regards

I am not entirely happy with pdfme. It is very easy to use, but has problems with special characters.
