NAME

partimagehack - MondoRescue-specific version of partimage , a tool to back up and restore disk partitions.

DESCRIPTION

partimagehack is a modified version of partimage, a tool for backing up disk partitions into image files and restoring them. The main difference is that it has added capabilities to use FIFOs which is required by mondoarchive and mondorescue.

Please note that partimagehack is called by mondoarchive and mondorescue to handle partitions not otherwise supported. It is not supposed to be called directly. Calling it directly is not supported and may lead to severe problems. If you are after a partition imaging tool, please use partimage.
