What is Partition Image FOR LINUX?

Partition Image FOR LINUX

Partition Image application is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example); partitions can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0. Partition Image will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file. This is unlike the 'dd' command, which also copies empty blocks. Partition Image also works for large, very full partitions. For example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB. This is very useful to save partitions to an image in some cases:

• Restore your Linux partition if there is a problem


• Install many identical PCs quickly and efficiently

• zlib


• libbz2 (version >= 1.0.0)
