It facilitates read and write access to the ext2, ext3 and ext4 file systems. The driver can be installed on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, [3] Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2. [1] Support for Windows NT was dropped in version 0.30. [4]
For Windows users, FSArchiver includes experimental support for NTFS. [1] FSArchiver supports most modern Linux file systems such as ext4, reiser4 and btrfs.. Other notable features include modern and multi-threaded compression [2] of disk image files, combined with file-based images (as opposed to block-based images most similar tools use) to enhance compression by ignoring unused clusters.
ext4 (fourth extended filesystem) is a journaling file system for Linux, developed as the successor to ext3.. ext4 was initially a series of backward-compatible extensions to ext3, many of them originally developed by Cluster File Systems for the Lustre file system between 2003 and 2006, meant to extend storage limits and add other performance improvements.

The software can create full disk backup archives of several file systems including: NTFS (Windows); FAT32 (Windows 9x and removable media); Macintosh systems (HFS+ and APFS) and Linux systems (ext2, ext3, ext4; ReiserFS, and Linux Swap). [3] Acronis uses sector-by-sector copy when a non-supported filesystem is backed up. [11]
Parted Magic supports reading and writing to a variety of modern file systems, including ext3, ext4, FAT, exFAT, and NTFS, and as such is able to access disk drives formatted for use under Microsoft Windows and Linux systems. The software distribution includes networking support, and comes with the Firefox web browser. [8]
The program works on FAT, exFAT and NTFS file systems of Windows, [4] and as of version 1.5.3 it can also recover files from Ext2, Ext3 and Ext4 file systems of Linux. [5] It is able to recover lost directory structure and automatically renames files when trying to recover two files of the same name.
Explore2fs is an Explorer-like program for Microsoft Windows that is capable of reading ext2 and ext3 hard disk partitions. [1] This can be especially convenient if one has a dual-boot system with both Linux and Windows partitions, or if one uses a live-CD version of Linux that creates an ext2 partition image as a single file on an NTFS drive (such as Puppy Linux, for instance, does).
fsck time/Inode Count(ext3 vs. ext4) With ext4 the e2fsck runtime should come down considerably, as can be seen from the graph. As the userspace companion for the ext2, ext3, and ext4 drivers in the Linux kernel, the e2fsprogs are most commonly used with Linux. However, they have been ported to other systems, such as FreeBSD and Darwin.
