The filesystem can be +restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be +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" |
