Download the 64-bit version of the Rescuezilla's "Weekly" Rolling Release version: rescuezilla-rolling-release.2023-11-26-64bit.mantic.iso. Other ISOs available after expanding the 'Assets' section at the bottom of this release.

• Adds releases based on Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic), and Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar) for best support of new hardware
• Adds release based on the still-in-development Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), but setting Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) as default version
• Upgrades to latest partclone release v0.3.27 (released October 2023) from v0.3.20 (which was released in April 2022)
  • This should improve issues with BTRFS filesystems, as it supports BTRFS v6.3.3, rather than v5.11 (#393)
• Added experimental command-line interface (CLI) (#258)
  • CLI should be considered EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, and behavior may change between versions without notice
  • CLI only supports images created by Clonezilla and Rescuezilla (the other supported formats coming in future)
  • CLI only supports backup, verify, restore and clone operations (mount and unmount operations coming in future)
• Integrated Rescuezilla into the automated integration test suite scripts, to hopefully enable faster project iteration
• Continue image scan after an error, so permission denied on irrelevant folders no longer block populating the image list
• Fixed issue causing backup of Linux md RAID devices containing MBR partition tables to fail (#448)
• Installs 'hashdeep' package as stop-gap command-line workaround for a specific user niche until Rescuezilla's UI handles it (#441)
• Fixed failing restore and clone operations when Rescuezilla v2.4.2 booted into Portuguese language, due to a minor typo (#438)

Rescuezilla v2.5 will be the above, plus upcoming fixes for the UnicodeDecodeError (#402, #412, #454) that are persistently impacting some users.

Details of all previous releases available in the changelog.

Compatibility

Rescuezilla creates backups that are fully compatible with the industry-standard Clonezilla tool. Rescuezilla works with images created by:

• Clonezilla
• Rescuezilla
• Every virtual machine image format supported by the qemu-nbd utility. Eg,
  • VirtualBox’s VDI
  • VMWare’s VMDK
  • Qemu’s QCOW2
  • Hyper-V's VHDx
  • raw .dd/.img
  • ...and more!
• Redo Rescue
• Foxclone
• FOG Project (still in-development: only supports Windows MBR/GPT disks due to FOG Project's more advanced image manipulation)
• FSArchiver (restore only, not explore)
• Apart GTK
• Redo Backup and Recovery (v0.9.2 format, v0.9.3-v1.0.4 format and the old community updates)
