I used for my first time and loved.
Very simple to use responsive and fast.
I used with ventoy directly installed on my HDU backup and worked like a charm.
What I most loved is its simplicity and its interface with no frills. It does what it claims.
In my opinion the overall system might be improved by adding two things: a battery monitor in the application bar and foreign Language support.
I am currently checking RedoRescue in comparison with Rescuezilla, but so far I prefer it despite other is more supported and have more applications included.
Easy to use and work as advertised. Other backup systems have too many confusing options for someone like my grand parents to navigate. Redo Rescue is a snap even for beginner and can put everything back quickly if there is a problem.
I also like that the cd has built in tools like gParted for making partition changes after the backup is restored, a web browser, and more. Even though it is not intended to be a live cd desktop operating system it has a lot of the same features of a good live cd linux distrobution.
I like what this project does, and the updates are great. However, here we are a year after the 3.0 version and nothing has changed other than the underlying Debian OS. It doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzy feeling, especially since the developer has disappeared with total radio silence once before.
At this point, I'm going to stick with CloneZilla and RescueZilla. They both get more frequent releases and have been proven to work well for my needs.
1) This little gem creates a full snapshot of your existing system with high compression and super fast!
2) You need 2 USB drives - one small drive with boot ISO and one larger one to store the images.
3) It automatically copies both the IFE (grub/FAT) partition and the main EXT4 partition into a single file
4) It trims the fat - only data is copied. My 256Gb NVme drive with Debian 11 + the usual apps was compressed to 9.2Gb - took about 2-3 minutes
5) It can restore the snapshot of a 256Gb drive on a larger drive e.g. 500Gb and leaves the spare space you can format for extra data.
6) Nice, easy to understand and navigate GUI
I was using it to create consecutive snapshots of my tweaked-out Sparky Linux 6.0
Redo was able to back up my data from two partitions on Ubuntu Linux at 3GB / sec. The restore also went easily, everything works fine. The design features a nice, simple interface.
Absolutely reliabale on my Asus- and HP-Notebooks. I'm having W10 and Mint Cinnamon respectively W7 and Ubuntu 16.04/20.04 on the Notebooks and since I try a lot of prgrams it's quite comfortable to have working images of all OS-partitions.
Version 3.02 works on both i386 and x64.
I used version 1.04 before without problems but only on i386 pc's. It also wörked fine for me.
Saving 7 partitions (boot, MS reserved, W10, W10 recovery, Swap, Linux/ and Linux Home) with all my usual programs installed take about 24 min.
I'm absolutely happy with REDO and it replaced Macrium Reflect for me as that was the only programm that could do reliable images of Win and Linux.
I start REDO from SD-card although it is booting faster from USB.
