help Redo Rescue FAQ
What is Redo Rescue and what is it used for?
Redo Rescue is a free, open-source backup and disaster recovery tool that runs as a live environment from a CD or USB stick. It's used to take full disk images of computers and restore them without needing an installed operating system.
Can Redo Rescue back up both Windows and Linux systems?
Yes — because it images entire disks or partitions at the block level, it can back up systems regardless of whether they run Windows, Linux or another OS. The live environment handles filesystems from both worlds.
Does Redo Rescue require installation on the computer being backed up?
No, that's its main selling point: you boot the machine from the Redo Rescue live media and perform imaging from there. This makes it useful for rescuing systems that won't boot properly.
Does Redo Rescue support incremental backups?
Traditionally Redo Rescue focused on full disk images rather than sophisticated incremental chains. Check the current release notes, as capabilities have evolved between versions of the project.
