Hey folks, I wanted to share this tool I recently came across, called Rescuezilla - not seen it mentioned a lot here on Lemmy. It’s a neat little tool worth keeping on an usb-stick.

What is Rescuezilla?

Rescuezilla is a backup/recovery solution. It’s a Clonezilla GUI that’s fast, feature-packed and very easy-to-use, even for everyday computer users.

Main features:

  • Disk Imaging: Easily create full images of your hard drives or partitions for backup or migration.
  • Restoration: Quickly restore disk images to the original drive or a different one, making recovery a breeze.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Works with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Live Environment: Runs from a live USB or CD, so you can back up or restore your system without booting into your installed OS.
  • File System Support: Compatible with multiple file systems, making it versatile for different storage devices.

        Nothing wrong with it, I think that rescuezilla is trying just simplify the process for lesser tech-savvy people. If clonezilla works for you then continue using that.

          But the TUI is simple. If people don’t know what they’re doing with the TUI, giving them colourful flashy buttons to click won’t help either. They should use Acronis or Macrium, then.

            Insane take. The terminal is not for everyone or every task. I’m happy to use it for a lot of things but for example, I’m so happy gparted exists and I don’t have to do partitioning in a CLI

              While you can do command line stuff with CloneZilla, I think what they’re referring to is the TEXT-based guided user interface, which doesn’t seem to differ much at all to the Rescuezilla GUI, which only looks marginally prettier. However, there’s a few other useful tools in there, and a desktop environments, so it’s still a bit nicer to use.
