How to backup and restore partition using fsarchiver in Linux

How to clone or backup Linux partition using fsarchiver

fsarchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of a filesystem to a compressed archive file. The filesystem contents can be restored on a device which has a different size and it can be restored on a different filesystem. Unlike tar or cpio, fsarchiver retains extended file attributes and can be restored to a disk with no current filesystem.
