Bug#542042: RFP: FSArchiver -- Save and restore filesystem to/from compressed archive.
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Project homepage: http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page
Licence: GPL-v2
About from homepage:
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 GPL-v2 license. It's
still under heavy development so it must not be used on critical data.
You should read the Quick start guide if you are using FSArchiver for
the first time.
Depends on:
* zlib (and zlib-devel)
* bzip2-libs (and bzip2-devel)
* openssl-libs (and openssl-devel)
* e2fsprogs-libs (e2fsprogs-devel)
* Other filesystem tools as required
Can be build with or without:
* liblzo (and lzo-devel)
* xz-4.999.8beta or newer (provides lzma compression support)
