Description-en: incrementally clones running drives
This package allows you to clone your drive to a target drive. It clones the
drive incrementally, so after the first clone it will take a much shorter time.
It provides both the "weresync" and "weresync-gui" commands, in order to run
the program.
.
Why use WereSync?
.
WereSync is accessible to less-technical users. It comes with a simple
interface and clone a drive with a single command while your computer is
running. No booting to a live disk or pushing through a long initiation
process. Unlike dd or CloneZilla, WereSync requires a low level of technical
skill and has an easy learning curve
.
WereSync can run while the your main drive is being used, instead of blocking
your computer up for hours at a time
.
WereSync will incrementally update clones, making subsequent clones much
faster.
.
WereSync works quickly, a single command copies your entire drive, no booting
to live CDs or managing MBRs.
.
WereSync can copy to a smaller drive, provided your drive's data will fit.
.
WereSync creates new UUIDs for the new partitions, allowing you to use the
old and new drives alongside each other.
