FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of
|
2010-12-12 18:57:48 +01:00
|
|
|
a filesystem to a compressed archive file. The filesystem can be
|
2010-05-12 23:33:34 +02:00
|
|
|
restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be
|
2010-12-12 18:57:48 +01:00
|
|
|
restored on a different filesystem. Unlike tar/dar, FSArchiver
|
|
|
|
also creates the filesystem when it extracts the data to partitions.

|
|
|
|
Everything is checksummed in the archive in order to protect the data.
|
|
|
|
If the archive is corrupt, you just loose the current file, not the
|
|
|
|
whole archive.

There's a manpage now so you can get on usage by doing
|
|
|
|
"fsarchiver -h" (for short help) or "man 8 fsarchiver"
