Download Rescuezilla 2.3.1

Version 2.3.1 of Rescuezilla has been released. This program can create an image backup of a partition or hard drive. It can also be used to clone a hard drive, or view the contents of an image and copy individual files from it. Rescuezilla is fully compatible with Clonezilla and can handle virtual images from, for example, VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V and QEMU. It can also resize partitions and recover accidentally deleted files. This release addresses the issue of a clone action hanging at 0% and includes two updated translations.

release notes

Download the 64-bit version of Rescuezilla: rescuezilla-2.3.1-64bit.impish.iso (recommended). There is also an alternative Rescuezilla v2.3.1 ISO image based on the Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) long-term support release: rescuezilla-2.3.1-64bit.focal.iso which on some machines may be able to boot more reliably than the recommended Ubuntu 21.10 (Impish) release above.

Flash the Rescuezilla image to a USB stick using balenaEtcher (this will erase all data on your USB stick). Reboot your PC and boot from USB. If you have trouble reaching the desktop, try the ‘Graphical Fallback Mode’ menu item.

Rescuezilla v2.3.1 fixes the “clone operation stuck at 0%” bug which was introduced in Rescuezilla v2.3.0 last week. Sorry for the oversight. It’s recommended all users upgrade:

• Fixed “Clone always stuck at 0%” issue introduced in v2.3.0 (#297†
• Added Korean/한국어 translation (ko-KR) (using Weblate†
• Significantly updated existing Italian/Italiano translation (it-IT) (using Weblate†

I am aiming to release a feature update in February 2022, in addition to the scheduled 6-monthly May 2022 feature update to try and maintain the project’s velocity.
