Rescuezilla 2.6 (x64) Boot ISO
Rescuezilla is an easy-to-use disk imaging application that’s fully compatible with Clonezilla — the industry-standard trusted by tens of millions. Yes, Rescuezilla is the Clonezilla GUI (graphical user interface) that you might have been looking for.
Rescuezilla is a cutting-edge, user-friendly software solution designed to simplify the process of backing up and restoring your data on Linux-based systems. This powerful tool offers a comprehensive set of features that enable users to create full system backups, clone disks, and recover lost data with ease and efficiency.
Rescuezilla stands out for its intuitive interface and straightforward workflow, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Whether you are a novice user looking to safeguard your important files or a seasoned IT professional in need of a reliable backup solution, Rescuezilla provides the tools and functionality to meet your needs.
One of the key features of Rescuezilla is its ability to create full system backups, including the operating system, installed applications, and user data. This ensures that users can quickly restore their system to a previous state in the event of hardware failure, data corruption, or other unforeseen issues. The software also supports disk cloning, allowing users to create exact copies of their hard drives for easy migration or duplication.
In addition to its backup and cloning capabilities, Rescuezilla offers advanced data recovery options, enabling users to retrieve lost or deleted files from damaged or inaccessible drives. The software’s robust scanning algorithms and recovery tools make it possible to recover a wide range of file types, including documents, photos, videos, and more.
Disk imaging makes a backup of your computer’s hard drive which is managed as files stored on an external hard drive. If your hard drive fails, you can restore your disk image and within a few minutes all your documents and settings will be restored to the exact same state they were in when the last snapshot was taken.
Rescuezilla lets you perform backup, restore and recovery actions, even if you aren’t able to boot into your regular operating system. It does not matter if you use Windows, Mac or Linux. It doesn’t matter if you can’t even login. Download and write the ISO to a USB stick, and reboot your machine. Your computer will load a complete mini operating system with a point-and-click user interface into your computer’s memory without writing any information to your hard drive.
Rescuezilla is a fork of Redo Backup and Recovery (now called Redo Rescue) after it had been abandoned for 7 years.
