Rescuezilla

I'd prefer the traditional Chinese character of 龍 rather than the simplified Chinese character of 龙. As you note Clonezilla uses 龍, so it's fitting that Rescuezilla follow this. As the project tries to follow Clonezilla and carefully avoids causing compatibility issues as far as practical 😀 Between 救援龍 and 救出龍, I used ChatGPT to try and distinguish the nuances (and also looked at a shorter, punchy, modern suggestion it made of救龍) After reading your analysis and its analysis, I think 救援龍 makes the...

I should have a new version of Rescuezilla ready in a couple weeks as I have a block of free time starting now

So I wrote the following by hand: Hardware support comes with drivers provided in the Linux kernel version, which Rescuezilla gets from the release of Ubuntu that it is built on. The default version of the current latest version of Rescuezilla v2.6.1 is built on Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular) which is circa October 2024, which is very old as of writing (March 2026) and uses Linux kernel v6.11, Dell G16 7620 is circa 2022 hardware, which generally should have good support, but it's entirely possible (perhaps...

Ahh damn sorry to hear your experiences. In the past I have successfully tested Rescuezilla on Intel-based Macs (circa 2012 hardware) and Mac Mini (circa 2014) by booting Rescuezilla and doing backup, zeroing/complete reformat and restoring. It's not a test case that's integrated into my testing suite, but I haven't had issues. macOS Monetery (version 12) is circa 2021 and is the latest version to run on some Intel-based Macs from 2015–2017. Rescuezilla uses the rock-solid raw dd backup of backup...

I have some time to dedicate to finishing the next version shortly. Expect Rescuezille v2.7 in about 1 month / mid-April 2026. Hopefully closer to early April.
