This command compresses a container so that it can be safely moved to the destination server. The compressed file is called "container_name.cap". Administrator privileges are required.

Note:

If you compress a container that is still tethered, the compression process will disable tethering and credentials used to connect to the source machine will not be kept. You will have to re-enable tethering and specify credentials once again, as required, in the Administrative Console.
