AUTHORS lists authors of the documentation or program.Use of
an AUTHORS section is strongly discouraged. Generally,
it is better not to clutter every page with a list of
(over time potentially numerous) authors; if you write
or significantly amend a page, add a copyright notice
as a comment in the source file.  If you are the author
of a device driver and want to include an address for
reporting bugs, place this under the BUGS section.

==============
NAME
----
btrfs-image - create/restore an image of the filesystem
SYNOPSIS
--------
*btrfs-image* [options] <source> <target>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
*btrfs-image* is used to create an image of a btrfs filesystem.
All data will be zeroed, but metadata and the like is preserved.
Mainly used for debug purpose.
OPTIONS
-------
-r::
Restore metadump image. By default, this fixes super's chunk tree, by
using 1 stripe pointing to primary device, so that file system can be
restored by running tree log reply if possible. To restore without
changing number of stripes in chunk tree check -o option.
-c <value>::
Compression level (0 ~ 9).
-t <value>::
Number of threads (1 ~ 32) to be used to process the image dump or restore.
-o::
Use the old restore method, this does not fixup the chunk tree so the restored
file system will not be able to be mounted.
-s::
Sanitize the file names when generating the image. One -s means just
generate random garbage, which means that the directory indexes won't match up
since the hashes won't match with the garbage filenames. Using -ss will
calculate a collision for the filename so that the hashes match, and if it
can't calculate a collision then it will just generate garbage. The collision
calculator is very time and CPU intensive so only use it if you are having
problems with your file system tree and need to have it mostly working.
-w::
Walk all the trees manually and copy any blocks that are referenced. Use this
option if your extent tree is corrupted to make sure that all of the metadata is
captured.
-m::
Restore for multiple devices, more than 1 device should be provided.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
*btrfs-image* will return 0 if no error happened.
If any problems happened, 1 will be returned.
