The "image" is only for Samsung Galaxy TAB E devices.
This is the only way I have found to get this working on Android tablets. The files were backed up from one of the survey tablets and are "imaged" or restored with a few steps. I have created a 5GB "image" which is essentially a nandroid backup. (copied from our wiki instructions, so formatting is junk for now)
