+FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of
+a filesystem to a compressed archive file. The filesystem can be
+restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be
+restored on a different filesystem. Unlike tar/dar, FSArchiver
+also creates the filesystem 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.
+
+There's a manpage now so you can get on usage by doing
+"fsarchiver -h" (for short help) or "man 8 fsarchiver"
