+      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.
