fsarchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of a filesystem to a compressed archive file. The filesystem can be restored on a partition that 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 lose the current file, not the whole archive. License: GNU General Public License v2 Changes:
This new version supports multiple filesystems per archive. The syntax of "restfs" has been changed to allow extracting archives with several filesystems. It also adds a new command "archinfo" to display information about an existing image. The threads management has been optimized. It's now possible to compress using lzma, as well as gzip and bzip2.
