+ (description
+ "FSArchiver saves the contents of a file system to a compressed archive
+file, and restores it to a different file system and/or partition. This
+partition can be of a different size than the original and FSArchiver will
+create a new file system if none exists.
+
+All standard file attributes supported by the kernel are preserved, including
+file permissions, timestamps, symbolic and hard links, and extended attributes.
+
+Each file in the archive is protected by a checksum. If part of the archive
+is corrupted you'll lose the affected file(s) but not the whole back-up.")
