“”A new fsarchiver version comes with this release. This program
can be used to clone filesystems: it supports all the linux
filesystems, including ext4 and btrfs. It’s also able to clone ntfs
partitions. It can restore filesystems to a partition which is
smaller than the original. It also comes with many interesting
features: the compression is multi-threaded (interesting on
multi-cores cpu), and it supports the very high compression
algorithm called lzma (very good ratio and not too slow on
quad-cores cpus). All the data are checksummed so it can handle
corruptions.” – said François Dupoux in the official release
announcement.”
