TirOFlanc edited Redo Rescue- Graziella thinks Rescuezilla is an alternative to Redo Rescue
Does the same thing as CloneZilla Live (which is very good too), but much more user-friendly! (graphical GUI instead of text-based menus)
For anybody seeking drop-in Clonezilla support / interoperability, I have forked Redo Rescue (back when it was called Redo Backup and Recovery and was abandoned for 7 years) into a new application called Rescuezilla
The user-experience between Rescuezilla and Redo Rescue is largely the same (both applications build upon the same base so maintain the easy-to-use wizard design). It's possible for advanced users to backup drives using Clonezilla (optionally using the Clonezilla "expert mode" options such as changing compression and partitioning tool) and then restore using Rescuezilla's easy-to-use interface. You can also backup using Rescuezilla and restore using Clonezilla if you'd like.
Rescuezilla does not yet support restoring the Redo Rescue image format, but this feature will eventually be implemented: I have already put a lot of work into unify all the features and backup formats from all versions of the Redo application into Rescuezilla, and I hope to continue this process.

I've used REDO for many years. 2 Linux rescues and 1 windows rescue.
Best bootable drive backup/restore program i have seen.
Pretty sexy and idiot proof! It's basically a sleek looking Clonezilla with a few less features, but waaaay better UX. Now I'm sad I only image my PCs once a year and I can't use Redo more often :D
Works very well and extremely easy to use as it's wizard-driven, using a stripped-down, customised Ubuntu OS and GUI.
Also comes with a few other useful disk utils such as GParted for partition editing, and if you really want to you can use Terminal for command line interaction.
I wanted to transfer my partner's Windows 7 image from an old 500 Gb HDD to a new (smaller) 480Gb SSD before performing and upgrade to Windows 10. I was able to do everything I needed to using just ReDo (and Virtual Box), which made things so much simpler.
For anyone curious, my process required:
Tip: When restoring to a smaller disk, you will need to edit the .size file included in your backup directory to match the size of the disk you want to restore to. ReDo checks this file before restoring and if your target disk is smaller than the source it won't allow you continue, even if the amount of data and partition size from the source disk are within capacity.
this has to be by far the easiest disk cloner ive ever used easy to back up and super easy to restore
