FSArchiver

What is FSArchiver?

FSArchiver is a powerful tool that enables users to save the contents of a file system to a compressed archive. It offers a unique capability compared to traditional tools like tar or dar, as it not only creates the compressed archive but also generates the file system when extracting the data to partitions. This ensures a seamless and efficient restoration process, even on partitions with different sizes or file systems
