Abstract: A method, system or computer usable program product for backing up a system image including receiving a request to backup a first system image on a first computer system onto a server, selecting a similar system image from a catalog of images, identifying a first set of differences between the similar system image and the first system image, and backing up the first system image by transferring the first set of differences to the server.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for displaying parameters of an original object on a display is described. The system includes a user interface that displays data. The system further includes a system for calculating pixels per distance and displaying parameters of an image on the display device. The system calculates the pixels per distance ratio by displaying a width and height parameter on the display and adjusting the width and height parameter to correspond to a standard sized object. The system calculates the pixels per distance ratio based on the adjusted width and height parameters. The system is further configured to receive an image from a provider to for display. At least one parameter of the image from the provider as displayed corresponds to at least one parameter of the original object. The corresponding parameters of the image and original object share approximately the same geometric dimensions.
