DESCRIPTION
partclone.[fstype] is a part of Partclone project. Partclone
provide utilities to backup used blocks and design for higher
compatibility of the file system by using existing library,
e.g. e2fslibs is used to read the used block of ext2 partition.
Partclone supported file system include btrfs, ext2, ext3,
ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs and jfs for LINUX. Also support some
non-linux operation system, ex: NTFS, FAT and EXFAT(for
Windows), HFS plus(APPLE MAC OS), UFS2(FreeBSD), VMFS(VMWare Vsphere)
and
MINIX(MINIX3).
All partclone utils could be run like partclone.[fstype] is
very smiliar fsck or mkfs. For example, for backup/restore hfsplus,
just
run partclone.hfsp

information.
partclone.extfs -r -d -s hda1.img -o /dev/hda1
restore image from clonezilla(split, gzip,) with stdin
