Fonts are really difficult to read on a resolution higher than Full HD 2. When you explore images, you can't copy files to other mounted hard drives or SSDs. It says that the permission was denied. There is a way of fixing point 2. though: you have to minimize the GUI (do not close it; otherwise your image will be unmounted), then you have to run a terminal and start the file explorer, from which I don't recall the name right now, then you will be able to copy the from the image explorer to your media. So, I guess that the file explorer is ran as a normal user and that's why it is not able to copy the files. As I said, I don't recall the name of the file explorer, but you can see it on the desktop; just type that name (all lowercase) and then it will open from the terminal. Was this review helpful?

Booting from a Ventoy-Stick worked - good! Unfortunately I couldn't find any way to choose a different screen resolution before booting. On my notebook this ended with hardly readable fonts - bad! In the menu I found arandr and with some difficulties I was able to choose a suitable resolution. After that I tried to create a small image via the "Backup" button. I wanted to make an image of the EFI partition (FAT32), the first GPT partition on my NVME-SSD, compressed with zstandard (default compression level). I could create an empty directory on my USB-HDD where the image should be stored. Finally I wanted to start the backup process, but all buttons in the last step were greyed out. I had to kill the backup GUI and took a look for a logfile or similar, but without any success - very, very bad! Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 2.4.2 Rating: 5 Date: 2023-06-22 Votes: 1 My first time use on my Lenovo laptop has been a mess but I didn't give up. PRO A lot of accessories let you manage/rescue your system. CONS The two main bad things I stumbled in so far are: 1. When I close the laptop in battery mode the PC power down. No way to change this behavior. 2. If I have HDMI plugged (TV monitor on) but input is not selected, Rescuezilla is not visible because it shows on HDMI. Furthermore The overall system is not so responsive as other backup programs I previously tested. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 12 reader reviews of Rescuezilla...
