e2image

Save critical ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem metadata to a file.

More information.

Write metadata located on device to a specific file:

e2image {/dev/sdXN} {path/to/image_file}

Print metadata located on device to stdout:

e2image {/dev/sdXN} -

Restore the filesystem metadata back to the device:

e2image -I {/dev/sdXN} {path/to/image_file}

Create a large raw sparse file with metadata at proper offsets:

e2image -r {/dev/sdXN} {path/to/image_file}

Create a QCOW2 image file instead of a normal or raw image file:

e2image -Q {/dev/sdXN} {path/to/image_file}
