Partclone

<h2 id="utilities">Utilities</h2>
<p>Partclone currently supports the following filesystems:
<a href="/facts/Ext2/ftyVw4Kv">ext2</a>, <a href="/facts/Ext3/VSEhX1WQ">ext3</a>, <a href="/facts/Ext4/zFbQRpsh">ext4</a>, <a href="/facts/HFS_Plus/sWk14kM5">hfs+</a>, <a href="/facts/Reiserfs/aGg9PTtk">reiserfs</a>, <a href="/facts/Reiser4/lB99Gq3d">reiser4</a>, <a href="/facts/Btrfs/lPwmXVJ6">btrfs</a>, <a href="/facts/VMware_VMFS/530KbfnY">vmfs(v3, v5)</a>, <a href="/facts/Xfs/2I4Wn5wG">xfs</a>, <a href="/facts/JFS_(file_system)/bmJLqaP8">jfs</a>, <a href="/facts/Unix_File_System/wDMLrTPe">ufs</a>, <a href="/facts/Ntfs/dryNM3BK">ntfs</a>, <a href="/facts/File_Allocation_Table/uFvpmWxa">fat(12/16/32)</a>, and <a href="/facts/ExFAT/w9R3QhPC">exFAT</a>.
To run partclone for a particular filesystem, one uses the command 'partclone.<fstype>', in a similar manner to the <a href="/facts/Mkfs/GYk5jJR9">mkfs</a> command

<p>Partclone is a partition image tool which attempts to only back up used data blocks. It's written in C and focuses on cloning filesystems, as opposed to cloning disks. The basic features are:
</p>
<ul><li>clone partition to image file</li>
<li>restore image file to partition</li>
<li>restore image file to raw file as loop device</li>
<li>duplicate partition on the fly</li>
<li>create domain file for <a href="/facts/Ddrescue/Hco1L5HV">ddrescue</a></li>
<li>crc32 support</li>
<li>pipe support (restore from stdin | clone to stdout)</li>
<li>text mode | quiet mode</li>
<li>Ncurses Text interface</li>
<li>rescue support</li>
<li>transfer rate, elapsed time calculating</li>
<li>support raw clone (like <a href="/facts/Dd_(Unix)/Ksttbob5">dd</a>)</li>
<li>partclone.chkimg check image made by partclone</li></ul>
