\fIpartimage\fR backs up disk partitions into image files and restores them.
.SH OPTIONS

.B \-z val, --compress val
Set image file compression level:
.br
val=0: don't compress: very fast but very big image file
.br
val=1: compress using gzip: fast and small image file (default)
.br
val=2: compress using bzip2: very slow and very small image file
.TP
.B \-c, --nocheck
Don't check the partition before saving.
.TP
.B \-o, --overwrite
Overwrite the existing image file without confirmation.
.TP
.B \-d, --nodesc
Don't ask any description for the image file.
.TP
.B \-V vol, --volume vol
Split image into multiple volumes files. vol will be the size in KB of volumes.
.TP
.B \-w, --waitvol
Wait for a confirmation after each volume change.
.TP
.B \-e, --erase
Erase empty blocks on restore with zero bytes.
.TP
.B \-m, --allowmnt
Don't fail if the partition is mounted. Dangerous!
.TP
