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, f2fs, nilfs, xfs and jfs for 
LINUX. Also support some non-linux operation
       system, ex: NTFS, FAT and EXFAT(for Windows), HFS 
plus(APPLE MAC OS), UFS2(FreeBSD), VMFS(VMWare Vsphere) and 
MINIX(MINIX3).

       All partclone utils could be run like 
partclone.[fstype] is very smiliar fsck or mkfs. For 
example, for backup/restore hfsplus, just run partclone.hfsp
