There is a large (3tb) file storage of mixed content on a non-virtual host (text files, archives, videos, etc.). From the documentation it is clear that I can backup as a .pxar or completely as an .img device (after starting it in the console it says that .img.fidx is being created) But from the description of the formats it is not obvious what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods.
