+config BLKSNAP
+	tristate "Block Devices Snapshots Module (blksnap)"
+	help
+	  Allow to create snapshots and track block changes for block devices.
+	  Designed for creating backups for block devices. Snapshots are
+	  temporary and are released when backup is completed. Change block
+	  tracking allows to create incremental or differential backups.

+	help
+	  The difference storage for a snapshot can be a regular file or a
+	  block device. We can work with a block device through the interface
+	  of a regular file. However, direct management of I/O units should
+	  allow for higher performance.

+	default n
+	help
+	  Theoretical asynchronous algorithm for processing I/O units should
+	  have higher performance. However, an attempt to confirm this on test
+	  runs did not bring any results.
