Rescuezilla 2.2 released

Shasheen Ediriweera announced the release of Rescuezilla 2.2. The latest version introduces the highly-requested feature for cloning, support for virtual machine images, and more. The latest version can be downloaded from the project’s GitHub page.

What’s new?

  • Implemented cloning (direct ‘device-to-device’ mode)
  • Added ability to restore and explore all virtual machine image formats supported by qemu-nbd (VirtualBox’s VDI, VMWare’s VMDK, Qemu’s QCOW2, HyperV’s VHDx, raw .dd/.img and many more)
  • Added ability to restore and explore images created by all remaining open-source imaging frontends (Redo Rescue, Foxclone, FSArchiver, Redo v0.9.2 and very-early handling of FOG Project images)
  • Added ability to customize compression format (gzip, zstandard, uncompressed) and compression level
  • Implemented remaining Clonezilla image restore logic to improve handling of many corner cases: 
    • Grows filesystem to fit partition size (but almost always filesystem size is already equal to partition size)
    • Runs filesystem check on all restored filesystems
    • Clears the NTFS volume dirty flag, for source during backup/clone and destination for restore/clone
    • Removes the udev MAC address records (if any) using Clonezilla script
    • Re-install the syslinux bootloader (if any) using Clonezilla script
    • Re-install the GRUB bootloader (if any) using Clonezilla script
    • Update initramfs (if any) using Clonezilla script
    • Relocates all NTFS filesystems using geometry from sfdisk or (if available) EDD (Enhanced Disk Device)
    • Restores LVM VG metadata with –force to match a recent Clonezilla patch referring to thin-pool LVs
    • Ensures each LVM VG metadata once is only restored once to support newer versions of vgcfgrestore
    • Updates EFI NVRAM for the boot device
  • Replaces Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy) build with build based on Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute) for best support of new hardware
  • Added option to shutdown or reboot after operation completes successfully
  • Added ability to connect to NFS and SSH (SFTP) network shared folders 
  • Added ability to write a description for backup images 
  • Added ability to make a screenshot by pressing Print Screen
