Hey folks, I wanted to share this tool I recently came across, called Rescuezilla - not seen it mentioned a lot here on Lemmy. It's a neat little tool worth keeping on an usb-stick.

What is Rescuezilla?

Rescuezilla is a backup/recovery solution. It's a Clonezilla GUI that's fast, feature-packed and very easy-to-use, even for everyday computer users.

Main features:

Disk Imaging: Easily create full images of your hard drives or partitions for backup or migration.
Restoration: Quickly restore disk images to the original drive or a different one, making recovery a breeze.
Cross-Platform Support: Works with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Live Environment: Runs from a live USB or CD, so you can back up or restore your system without booting into your installed OS.
File System Support: Compatible with multiple file systems, making it versatile for different storage devices.

Is it capable of recognising disks set up as zfs mirrors? I have my OS on 256GB SSD while I have two large disks where I keep my data set up as zfs mirrors. I am not very well conversant with docker so everytime I need to do a critical update, I simply create a disk image of my OS drive onto the zfs mirror. Currently, i do it by booting into a live Ubuntu USB and running commands to make it recognise the zfs mirror before cloning the OS disk. If rescuezilla can do it by default, I will prefer it over live Ubuntu.
