Hi,

I just chose another disk image format and also tried to save the disk image to another volume but the error displayed on the screen. I am looking for assistance so please provide the best solution to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

The volume that you chose to save the disk image upon does not support the sparse bundle disk image format.

Please choose another disk image Or save the disk image to another volume.

Volume does not support the sparse bundle disk image format

The sparse bundle disk image files grow in size when data is added to them, however they do not shrink automatically when data is deleted from them. As a result the amount of space claimed by disk image may not be the same they want. Reclaim the disk space that is occupied by free space on sparse bundle disk image by dropping the disk image file on to the application "Compact sparse disk Images”. Compacting process takes some time to complete.
