DESCRIPTION
       partclone.restore is a part of Partclone project to restore 
all image made from partclone.[fstype] or partclone.dd. 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, EXFAT(for Windows), 
HFS plus(APPLE MAC OS), UFS2(FreeBSD), VMFS(VMWare Vsphere). All
       partclone utils could be run like partclone.xxx is very 
smiliar fsck or mkfs. For example, for backup/restore hfsplus, just 
run
       partclone.hfsp.
