--------------------
syntax :
dd if=/dev/sda status=progress| xz --compress -0 -T0 [GREATER THAN SYMBOL] {Disk-Image-File}
examples :
dd if=/dev/sda status=progress| xz --compress -0 -T0 [GREATER THAN SYMBOL] /mnt/clouddir/rclone-disk-images/eur-50gb-w2022-nvme-176-57-189-176.xz

To Test a VPS Disk Image
------------------------
syntax :
xz --test -T0 --verbose {Disk-Image-File}
