Rescue
Description
Rescuezilla is a graphical live environment for creating and restoring disk images. It boots from removable media rather than running as an application inside Windows. The project provides a 64-bit PC image and instructions for creating a bootable USB. Writing that USB erases its previous contents; restoring an image can overwrite the selected target disk. Keep an independent backup and verify the destination before proceeding.
Who is Rescuezilla for?
Rescuezilla is primarily suited to experienced Linux users who want detailed control over the system. Before choosing it, compare the current release lifecycle with the length of support required for the machine. This distribution is based on ubuntu, which influences package formats, repositories and much of the available documentation. The best choice depends on hardware support, preferred software, update policy and the amount of system administration the user wants to perform.
Before installing
Read the release notes and installation guide before downloading. Select an image that matches the processor architecture and intended use: desktop, server, live media, virtual machine or another published edition. Test Wi-Fi, graphics, audio, storage and suspend from live media when that option is available. Back up important files before repartitioning, encryption changes or dual-boot installation. Download from an official project page or mirror, compare the published SHA-256 checksum, and verify a signed checksum when the project provides one. After installation, apply updates before adding third-party repositories or drivers.

- Benefits from the package ecosystem and documentation associated with its ubuntu lineage.
