SYNOPSIS partclone.[fstype] {[−c | −−clone][−r | −−restore][−b | −−dev−to−dev]} {[−s | −−source] source} {[[−o | −−output][−O | −−overwrite]] target} [[−dX | −−debug=X][−−restore_raw_file]] [[−z | −−buffer_size][−N | −−ncurses]] [[−q | −−quiet][−f | −−UI−fresh]] [[−F | −−force][−I | −−ignore_fschk]] [[−−ignore_crc][−X | −−dialog][−C | −−nocheck]] [[−R | −−rescue][−L | −−logfile] logfile] DESCRIPTION partclone.[fstype] is a part of Partclone project. Partclone provide utilities to backup used blocks and design for higher compatibility of the file system by using existing library,e.g. e2fslibs is used to read the used block of ext2 partition. Partclone supported file system include btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs and jfs for LINUX. Also support some non−linux operation system, ex: NTFS, FAT and EXFAT(for Windows), HFS plus(APPLE MACOS), UFS2(FreeBSD), VMFS(VMWare Vsphere) and MINIX(MINIX3). All partclone utils could be run likepartclone.[fstype] is very smiliar fsck or mkfs. For example, for backup/restore hfsplus, just run partclone.hfsp File System partclone.[fstype] btrfs partclone.btrfs ext2, ext3, ext4 partclone.[ext2|ext3|ext4] reiserfs 3.5 partclone.reiserfs reiser 4 partclone.reiser4 xfs partclone.xfs ufs | ufs2 partclone.ufs jfs partclone.jfs hfs plusfs partclone.[hfs+|hfsplus] vmfs partclone.vmfs ntfs partclone.ntfs fat12, fat16, fat32 partclone.[fat12|fat16|fat32] exfatpartclone.exfat minix partclone.minix f2fs partclone.f2fs nilfs2 partclone.nilfs2 OPTIONS The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with twodashes (‘−'). A summary of options is included below. −s FILE, −−source FILE Source FILE. The FILE could be a image file(made by partclone) or device depend on your action. Normanly,backup source is device, restore source is image file. Receving data from pipe line is supported ONLYfor restoring, just ignore −s option or use '−' means receive data from stdin. −o FILE, −−output FILE Output FILE. The FILE could be a image file(partclone will generate) or device depend on your action. Normanly,backup output to image file and restore output to device. Sending data to pipe line is also supported ONLYfor back−up, just ignore −o option or use '−' means send data to stdout. −O FILE, −−overwrite FILE Overwrite FILE, overwriting if exists. partclone 10/25/2020 1 fedora 32 man.m.sourcentral.org PARTCLONE(8) Partclone User Manual PARTCLONE(8) −c, −−clone Save partition to the special image format. −r, −−restore Restore partition from the special image format. −b, −−dev−to−dev Local device to device copyon−the−fly,source and output both are device. −D, −−domain Create GNU Ddrescue domain log file from source device −−offset_domain=X Add X (in bytes) to all positions reported in the domain log file −−restore_raw_file Creating special rawfile for loop device. −l FILE, −−logfile FILE put special path to record partclone log information.(default /var/log/partclone.log) −R, −−rescue Continue after disk read errors. −C, −−no_check Don't check device size and free space. −N, −−ncurse Using Ncurses TextUser Interface. −X, −−dialog Output message as Dialog Format. −I, −−ignore_fschk Ignore filesystem check. −−ignore_crc Ignore crc check error. −F, −−force Force progress. −f sec, −−UI−fresh sec put special second to different interval. −z size, −−buffer_size size Read/write buffer size (default: 1048576) −q, −−quiet Disable progress message. −dlevel, −−debug level Set the debug level[1|2|3] −h, −−help Showsummary of options. −v, −−version Showversion of program.
