Not sure what documentation you are looking at, but the doc file is 235 pages 
long?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/files/g4l%20documentation/g4l0.44-docum
entation.pdf/download

Main site is on sourceforge, and current released version is 0.45, and have 
been working on version 0.46 for some time with 83 alphas and just added 
kernel 3.13.0 as an option. 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/

Documentation contains a lot of source code and config files, and 
instructions for basic operations. Mostly uses dd with compress using lzop, 
gzip or bzip2. Along with ntfsclone options, and has fsarchiver also included, 
but I added it as an option at an users request, and have only used it a 
couple of times in testing. 

Would be happy to answer any questions.
