 ## About FSArchiver
-FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to **save the contents of a 
-file-system to a compressed archive file**. The file-system can be restored on 
-a partition which has a different size and it can be restored on a different 
-file-system. Unlike tar/dar, **FSArchiver also creates the file-system when it 
-extracts the data** to partitions. Everything is **checksummed** in the 
-archive in order to protect the data. If the archive is corrupt, you just loose 
-the current file, not the whole archive. Fsarchiver is released under the

-FSArchiver is working at the file level. It can make an archive of filesystems 
-(ext4, ext3, xfs, btrfs, reiserfs, ntfs, ...) that the running kernel can mount

-extended-attributes, ...), as long as the kernel has support for it enabled.
