Redo Rescue, formerly Redo Backup and Recovery, is a free backup and disaster recovery software. It runs from a live CD, a bootable Linux CD image, features a GUI that is a front end to the Partclone command line utility, and is capable of bare-metal backup and recovery of disk partitions. It can use external hard drives and network shares.
After a long period of inactivity since 2012, the project has been resumed in 2020 adopting a shorter name: Redo Rescue.[1]
Sadly, beginning in Nov 2024, the latest iso version (4.0.0) of Redo Rescue, when burned onto a USB, will not boot if run on a system with Windows and Secure Boot enabled. The issue is a revoked UEFI certificate in the underlying OS used by Redo Rescue. This will require the project developer to rebuild a version with a valid certificate by using an updated version of the underlying OS. The most recent release of Redo Rescue was in Sept 2022. This is listed as the Final Release. So anyone getting Windows updates cannot use this system backup software unless the developer is willing to issue another release or unless someone forks a new version to fix the problem. This is a very useful and well designed tool and well worth preserving.
In addition to backup software, the disk includes additional supporting programs such as:
- baobab
- chntpw
- cryptsetup
- drivereset
- Chromium
- fsarchiver
- geany
- gnome-disk-utility
- gparted
- grsync
- hdparm
- lshw-gtk
- partclone
- partimage
- photorec
- rsync
- scp
- smartctl
- ssh
- testdisk
Rescuezilla
[edit ]In 2019, while the project was inactive, it was forked[2] and many long-standing bugs were fixed,[3] to create Rescuezilla[4] based on Debian, later based on Ubuntu.[5] [6] [7] [8] Rescuezilla 2.5 is described as Clonezilla with a GUI.[9]
