The release of Rescuezilla 2.3 is now available, designed for backing up, recovering systems after failures, and diagnosing various hardware issues. The distribution is built on an Ubuntu package base and continues the development of the 'Redo Backup & Rescue' project, which was discontinued in 2012. Live builds are available for 64-bit x86 systems (846MB) and a deb package for installation on Ubuntu.
Rescuezilla supports backing up and recovering accidentally deleted files on Linux, macOS, and Windows partitions. It automatically finds and mounts network partitions that can be used for storing backups. The graphical interface is based on the LXDE shell. The format of the created backups is fully compatible with the Clonezilla distribution. During recovery, it supports working with Clonezilla, Redo Rescue, Foxclone, and FSArchiver images.
Key Changes:
- The transition to the Ubuntu 21.10 package base has been completed. Additionally, an alternative LTS build based on Ubuntu 20.04 continues to be developed.
- Support for verifying backup integrity has been added.
- A 'rescue' option has been added, allowing management of ignoring bad sectors and errors issued by the file system.
- Support for restoring and exploring disk images created in the 'Apart' program (an extension of partclone) has been implemented.
- The image scanning process has been improved.
- The lxappearance package has been added, simplifying the enabling of a dark theme.
- A context menu option has been added to launch the file manager with root privileges.
- The 'xdg-open' utility is used to launch the file manager and browser, instead of directly launching pcmanfm and Firefox.
- A translation into Russian has been added.
