Mondo Rescue

Mondo Rescue Alternatives

Mondo Rescue is free, open-source disaster recovery for Linux and FreeBSD, with self-hosted restores from media such as network locations, USB devices and ISO files. These alternatives differ mainly in operating-system coverage, deployment style and pricing.

Choose FOG Project for network imaging, VM Backup for server backup with a trial, Veeam Agent for Mac for macOS, Vembu BDRCloud for computer backup, or Asigra for enterprise backup and recovery.
