Facts

Website: github.com
Price: Free tier
Free trial: No
Backup format: Backups use a unified file format that supports notes, and the system can search for and detect shared network drives.
Bare metal: Bare-metal recovery restores the master boot record and partition table, and selected parts can be restored selectively.
Boot support: Redo Rescue supports UEFI Secure Boot and runs from an ISO that can be written to CD or USB.
Download: The repository says the latest ISO image can be downloaded from SourceForge.
Founded: 2010
Included tools: The image includes system tools and diagnostic programs, and the software provides error handling, low space warnings, and copyable detailed logs.
Intended users: The project describes use cases for household Windows backups, classroom Linux machines, company laptops, and office server upgrades.
Licensing: Redo Rescue is released under GNU GPLv3, while its distinctive logos and graphics are excluded from that license.
Recovery: It is intended to help recover from ransomware, viruses, deletions, hardware damage, and hackers.
Remote assistance: The live system provides VNC access for remote assistance.
Restore limitation: The project says it is designed to restore an image to the same system, and restoring to different hardware or changing disks or partitions may cause boot problems.
Security note: By default, the live system logs in as root with the password “redo.”
