Usage
	Before you use this command, create a snapshot and copy it to the computer
	where you want to deploy the snapshot. See “Creating a Snapshot for
	Deployment” on page 5-4for more information.
	Run this command, with options, on the computer where you want to deploy the
	snapshot. When you specify a value for a parameter, if the value contains a space,
	enclose the value in double quotation marks. You must run the command either as
	an Administrator user or as the root user.
+	If you placed the snapshot in a compressed file, you must extract it. Use the
+	-extractcmdoption to decompress a snapshot with a customized command or
+	script. Alternatively, if you have 7-zip software for Windows or Gzip for UNIX or
+	Linux installed, you can use the -fileoption to decompress the snapshot.
	Use the -forceparameter to deploy a snapshot to multiple computers and override
	the database server instance settings on the target computer.
