# Quickstart
## How to Dump a Disk Image
Its very easy to dump any supported media quickly with Aaru! You just have to
run `aaru media dump <drive> <output image>` for the most basic options. If you dump to something thats not Aaru Image
Format (images with the extensions `.aaruformat`, `.aaruf`, and `.aif`), you will also have to add the “-f” option at the end
of the command.
### Examples (Windows):
`aaru media dump E: Image.aaruf`
`aaru media dump F: Image.iso -f`
### Examples (Linux):
`aaru media dump /dev/sr0 Image.aaruf`
`aaru media dump /dev/sr1 Image.iso -f`
## Comparing Between Two Media Dumps
Comparing between media dumps using Aaru is simple! All you have to do is run the
command `aaru image compare image-1 image-2`. Neither of the dumps being compared have to be created by Aaru, they can
be any of the supported formats from any software.
### Examples (All OS):
`aaru image compare Image1.aaruf Image2.cue`
`aaru image compare Image1.iso Image2.ccd`
## Analysing a Media Dump

## Extracting Content From a Media Dump
Aaru can extract the files from any supported media dump, as long as it uses a supported filesystem to store its files.
The command for this is “aaru filesystem extract *Image* *Output folder*”. You can also add “-x” to the end of the
command to extract the more technical extended attributes from an image as well.
### Examples:
`aaru filesystem extract Image.aaruf Output`
`aaru filesystem extract Image.ccd Output -x`
