Currently have have 2TB image file that has about 900GB used within the image. What I would like to know is if it possible to convert an img target to a snapshot/CPD target?

The only way to do it right now is to copy whole content in either file or block mode... We'll eventually provide a converter but it would do basically the same thing you could done manually @ this moment.

Hello Fenris,

Actually its very simple: just create CDP device with size that equal or more then size of your image file, connect to it with the client machine and copy all the data (just copy paste) to it.
