Rescuezilla
Software that allows cloning and creating disk images, being a practical and accessible option for backups and system recovery.
Description
Rescuezilla is a free and open-source software designed for cloning and creating disk images, providing a practical and accessible option for backups and system recovery. Available as an ISO image that can be burned onto a USB stick or CD, it operates as an independent Linux-based operating system, loaded directly into the computer's memory without the need for installation on the hard drive. This makes it perfect for situations where the main system fails to boot, and it is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
With an intuitive graphical interface, Rescuezilla stands out by simplifying tasks that, in tools like Clonezilla — with which it is fully compatible — require more technical knowledge. It allows users to create complete backups of disks or partitions, saving them as files on an external device or a network, and restore them when necessary. Additionally, it supports direct disk-to-disk cloning and is capable of handling images from virtual machines, such as VirtualBox (VDI), VMware (VMDK), Hyper-V (VHDx), and Qemu (QCOW2).
Among its features, Rescuezilla offers additional tools, such as GParted for partition management, a browser for internet access, and an image explorer (in beta) that allows users to view and extract files from backups. Lightweight and functional, it is very useful for users seeking a reliable and straightforward solution to protect data or recover systems without relying on paid software.
