While they will both export all data associated w/ image@snap1, the
"export" command will generate a raw, non-sparse dump of the full
image whereas "export-diff" will export only sections of the image
that contain data. The file generated from "export" can be used with
the "import" command to create a new image, whereas the file generated
from "export-diff" can only be used with "import-diff" against an
existing image.
