FSArchiver is adisk cloning utility forLinux. FSArchiver can savepartitions containing different popular file systems to adisk image. It is a continuation ofPartImage, which was a project from one of the same authors, and implements new features that PartImage lacks.
FSArchiver strives to be more feature-rich and lessUX[clarification needed] than PartImage. As a result, it is used by other software and toolsets for its functionality. Two of the most widely used features that PartImage lacks are support for multi-core compression and support for the commonly used Ext4 filesystem.
ForWindows users, FSArchiver includes experimental support forNTFS.[1] FSArchiver supports most modern Linuxfile systems such as ext4, reiser4 and btrfs.
Other notable features include modern and multi-threadedcompression[2] of disk image files, combined with file-based images (as opposed to block-based images most similar tools use) to enhance compression by ignoring unused clusters.
An essential key feature of FSArchiver is "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."[3]
