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.
