        A lone hard drive stands atop a data heap, staring at the full moon. Suddenly, it
        transforms...into a bootable clone of your drive, whirring hungrily at the digital
        moon.
        
        WereSync takes a Linux hard drive and effectively clones it, but works incrementally
        so you don't have to spend so long backing up each time. Additionally, WereSync
        can clone to a smaller drive, if your data will fit on the smaller drive. Because WereSync
        uses rsync to copy, it can copy a running drive,though certain parts of state may not be
        preserved.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        WereSync can be installed using the `setup.py` file.
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
           $ ./setup.py install
        
        If you have `pip <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/>`_ installed, you can easily install WereSync with the following command::
        
            $ pip install weresync
        
        For more in-depth instructions, see the `installation documentation <https://pythonhosted.org/WereSync/installation.rst>`_.
        
        Basic Usage
        ===========
        
        **Note:** WereSync requires root capabilities to run because it has to access block devices.
        
        The gui can be launched with the command::
        
            $ sudo weresync-gui
        
        To see the options for the terminal command use::
        
            $ weresync -h
        
        To copy from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb (the two drives must have the same partition scheme) use::
        
            $ sudo weresync /dev/sda /dev/sdb
        
        For more information, including how to copy the partition table from drive to
        another, see the `Basic Usage <https://pythonhosted.org/WereSync/weresync.html/>`_
        documentation page.
