DESCRIPTION

14       partclone.restore is a part of Partclone project to restore all image
15       made from partclone.[fstype] or partclone.dd. Partclone provide
16       utilities to backup used blocks and design for higher compatibility of
17       the file system by using existing library, e.g. e2fslibs is used to
18       read the used block of ext2 partition.
19
20       Partclone supported file system include btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4,
21       reiserfs, reiser4, xfs and jfs for LINUX. Also support some non-linux
22       operation system, ex: NTFS, FAT, EXFAT (for Windows), HFS plus (APPLE
23       MAC OS), UFS2 (FreeBSD), VMFS (VMWare Vsphere). All partclone utils
24       could be run like partclone.xxx is very smiliar fsck or mkfs. For
25       example, for backup/restore hfsplus, just run partclone.hfsp.
