## DESCRIPTION

`&dhpackage;` 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.

## OPTIONS

The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). 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. Normally, backup source is device, restore source is image file.

  Receving data from pipe line is supported ONLY for 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. Normally, backup output to image file and restore output to device.

  Sending data to pipe line is also supported ONLY for back-up, just ignore -o option or use '-' means send data to stdout.

`-O `FILE``

`--overwrite `FILE``

- Overwrite FILE, overwriting if exists.

`--restore_raw_file`

- Creating special raw file 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`

`--ncurses`

- Using Ncurses Text User 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.

`-d`level``

`--debug `level``

- Set the debug level [1|2|3]

`-h`

`--help`

- Show summary of options.

`-v`

`--version`

- Show version of program.

## FILES

`/var/log/partclone.log`

- The log file of &dhpackage;

## EXAMPLES

     restore /dev/hda1 from hda1.img and display debug information.
      partclone.restore -d -s hda1.img -o /dev/hda1

     restore image from clonezilla (split, gzip,) with stdin source
      cat  sda1.ext3-ptcl-img.gz.a*  | gunzip -c | partclone.restore -d -s - -o /dev/sda1

     restore  raw  image  from  partclone.dd
      partclone.dd  -d  -c  -s  /dev/sda1  -o  - | partclone.restore -d -s - -o /dev/sdb1

## DIAGNOSTICS
