The file-system can be +restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be +restored on a different file-system. Unlike tar/dar, FSArchiver +also creates the file-system 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. + +Build Notes: +Please note that LZMA support is disabled in the script, the source +apparently needs next major version of LZMA (renamed XZ) which is +still in beta. + +Static binary is built so it can be copied with your backup scripts and +used when you don't have package installed but need the binary. + +Dependencies: +zlib, bzip2, e2fsprogs and other filesystem tools which are all part +of Slackware. + +There are no man pages in the package. For short help, fsarchiver -h. +For detailed usage, check out the project website +at http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page |
