#12 Partclone.imager man page is lacking information about --clone and --rescue.
I do not understand the difference between partclone.dd and partclone.imager. Their man pages are identical except for two very short extra entries in the page for partclone.imager: "--clone" and "--restore". The examples on both pages are partclone.dd only -- none for partclone.imager.
I'd love to see some information and examples about the "special image format" and the reasons one might want to use it.
Hi,
What's the difference between partclone.dd and partclone.imager? Partclone.imager saves partitions as partclone images, specially formatted archives designed for efficient storage and manipulation. Some filesystems are not supported by partclone. We still have a chance to do a backup and save to the same format.
For details on the partclone image format, see the official documentation: https://partclone.org/usage/partclone.restore.php
