Download the 64-bit version of the Rescuezilla 2.4.1 version: rescuezilla-2.4.1-64bit.jammy.iso
If you have a blank screen, and will need to "Graphical Fallback Mode" from the Rescuezilla boot menu, or try the alternative ISO image based on Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal", which has slightly different video drivers. It doesn't occur on my NVidia graphics card systems, but will still occur Intel and AMD graphics systems.
- Fixed broken wifi after v2.4 broke it (due to a change in Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy leading to a key package not being installed (#366)
- Reintroduced ISO variant based on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), to assist users with AMD/Intel graphics
- AMD/Intel graphics still expected to be broken on "Jammy" variant except when using Graphical Fallback Mode (#351)
- Fixed image verification for German language (broken for all images in v2.4 German language mode, due to a typo in a translation string) (#352)
- Fixed similar fatal user-facing error messages caused by translation typos in the French, Danish and Catalan translations
- Add the font to fix display of the cross mark character "❌" in the image verification summary
- Fixed "stuck at 0%" progress bar when the destination is read-only (#363)
- Added protection to prevent other unexpected situations from leading to the same behavior
- Many existing translations updated, but also added:
- Thai/ภาษาไทย (th-TH)
KNOWN POTENTIAL BUG: When cloning, the moved auto-restart/auto-shutdown drop-down (#337) may cause an issue. On my test environment, auto-restart on "clone" mode (and "restore" mode) works fine. Please let me know if you can reproduce this.

- Hyper-V's VHDx
- raw .dd/.img
- ...and more!

Bug advisories
Rescuezilla is thoroughly tested using Windows, Linux, and Mac environments. The following are known bugs in v2.3.1. Please regularly consult the following table (and the links below the table) in case new bugs are discovered.
| Severity | Tracking # | Description | Fixed in release |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very High | #328 | A user reported a Rescuezilla backup took only a few seconds for 40GB of data and reported success. When I looked into it, the partclone utility claimed to successfully backup an NTFS partition even though it clearly failed. User reported this problem occurs on Clonezilla too.
| |
| High | #254 | When making a backup of a Windows drive, some users report the error "Windows is hibernated, refused to mount" or "Error: read-only file system" and a failed backup. This is usually due to Windows' hibernate feature, with widely used workaround to select 'Restart' (not shutdown) from the Windows Start Menu before booting the Rescuezilla USB stick. But some users are reporting even after doing a full restart the problem is now persisting, with the only workaround for these users to disable hibernation entirely (which is definitely not a good solution). This issue is being investigated as part of task #254 | |
| Medium | #337 | A user reports cloning using the 'Shutdown'/'Reboot' dropdown menu cannot boot Windows, but cloning a manual reboot can boot. This report cannot be reproduced in my testing environment. | |
| Medium | #372 | Rescuezilla's ability to restore and explore images created by Clonezilla needs to be updated for the latest Clonezilla releases, as Rescuezilla is still operating like a slightly older version of Clonezilla | |
| Medium | #372 | Rescuezilla v2.4.1's Focal variant's "Image Explorer (beta)" feature does not work. The default Jammy variant works fine. |
If you encounter any additional bugs, please report them (ideally with logs) on the GitHub issues page (after searching for duplicate issues).
