Ghosting to an image file creates a single file of everything on your hard drive. It can be compressed, but it usually doesn't compress too much, so the image file usually comes out a bit smaller than the total amount of data on your drive.

Local if for transferring between two drives or partitions that are phiscally connected to the same computer.

LPT Master is the drive that you are going to transfer from through the printer port.

USB Master for transferring though the USB port.

TCP/IP for transferring through a network.

You will just be using local.
