It saves partitions having +a supported filesystem on a sector basis to an image file. Although it +runs under Linux, Windows and most Linux filesystems are supported. The +image file can be compressed to save disk space and transfer time and +can be split into multiple files to be copied to CDs or DVDs. + +Partimage has a textmode user interface, plus non-interactive batch +mode operation. It supports these filesystems: ext2, ext3, reiserfs, +fat16, fat32, hpfs, jfs, xfs, ufs, hfs, ntfs. It does NOT support ext4 +or btrfs. Users needing a tool like this for ext4 or btrfs are advised +to try fsarchiver. + +The daemon (partimaged) is included, but the SlackBuild author hasn't +tested it. Read /usr/doc/partimage-0.6.9/README.partimaged and proceed at +your own risk. One thing not mentioned there is that partimaged requires +a dedicated user account called partimag. |
