* save only one filesystem (/dev/sda1) to an archive:

fsarchiver savefs /data/myarchive1.fsa /dev/sda1

* save two filesystems (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1) to an archive:

fsarchiver savefs /data/myarchive2.fsa /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1

* restore the first filesystem from an archive (first = number 0):

fsarchiver restfs /data/myarchive2.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1

* restore the second filesystem from an archive (second = number 1):

fsarchiver restfs /data/myarchive2.fsa id=1,dest=/dev/sdb1

* restore two filesystems from an archive (number 0 and 1):

fsarchiver restfs /data/arch2.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1 id=1,dest=/dev/sdb1

* restore a filesystem from an archive and convert it to reiserfs:

fsarchiver restfs /data/myarchive1.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1,mkfs=reiserfs

* restore a filesystem from an archive and specify extra mkfs options:

fsarchiver restfs /data/myarchive1.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1,mkfs=ext4,mkfsopt="-I 256"

* restore a filesystem from an archive and specify a new label and a new UUID:

fsarchiver restfs /data/myarchive1.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1,label=root,uuid=5f6e5f4f-dc2a-4dbd-a6ea-9ca997cde75e

* save the contents of /usr/src/linux to an archive (similar to tar):

fsarchiver savedir /data/linux-sources.fsa /usr/src/linux

* save a filesystem (/dev/sda1) to an archive split into volumes of 680MB:

fsarchiver savefs -s 680 /data/myarchive1.fsa /dev/sda1

* save a filesystem and exclude all files/dirs called 'pagefile.*':

fsarchiver savefs /data/myarchive.fsa /dev/sda1 --exclude='pagefile.*'

* generic exclude for 'share' such as '/usr/share' and '/usr/local/share':

fsarchiver savefs /data/myarchive.fsa --exclude=share

* absolute exclude valid for '/usr/share' but not for '/usr/local/share':

fsarchiver savefs /data/myarchive.fsa --exclude=/usr/share

* save a filesystem (/dev/sda1) to an encrypted archive:

fsarchiver savefs -c mypassword /data/myarchive1.fsa /dev/sda1

* same as before but prompt for password in the terminal:

fsarchiver savefs -c - /data/myarchive1.fsa /dev/sda1

* extract an archive made of simple files to /tmp/extract:

fsarchiver restdir /data/linux-sources.fsa /tmp/extract

* show information about an archive and its filesystems:

fsarchiver archinfo /data/myarchive2.fsa
