What it is
Redo Rescue is free backup and recovery software for Linux, Windows, and macOS. It creates image backups and provides bare-metal recovery, including restoring a system to a blank new drive. Users can also preserve a target drive’s layout and restore data to different parts of it. The bootable live system is based on 64-bit Debian and comes as an ISO that can be written to CD or USB.
Version 3.0 works with real and virtual machines, supports UEFI Secure Boot, and can restore backups made with version 1.0. For recovery assistance, password-protected remote access and a VNC server allow another person to connect. The software provides detailed logs and error reporting. The maker describes its interface as point-and-click and supplies instructions for creating boot media on Windows, Mac, and Linux, then starting a computer from it. Redo Rescue supports server backup as well as computer backup, but not mobile backup. It is open source under GNU GPLv3; the maker says the code can be audited, modified, and copied at no cost.
