Rescuezilla is an open-source easy-to-use disk imaging application that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for Clonezilla. Trusted by tens of millions, it offers point-and-click backup and restore functionality for entire computers, making bare metal disaster recovery accessible to users who find command-line tools intimidating. Rescuezilla is fully compatible with Clonezilla images and supports additional formats including VirtualBox (VDI), VMWare (VMDK), Hyper-V (VHDx), Qemu (QCOW2), and many more. It features an Image Explorer for accessing files within images, supports advanced environments like Linux md RAID and LVM, and provides both imaging and cloning (device-to-device) modes. Built as a bootable GNU/Linux distribution, it can restore systems even when the original OS cannot boot.
