Thoughts on Redo Rescue
While it might not have all the bells and whistles of similar backup software, we like how quick and easy it is to use. The very first screen you see when you boot into this program is a large Backup and Restore button. Clicking either one walks you through a super easy to follow wizard. There are hardly any steps before starting, which speeds up the process. The fact that you have the option to back up to an FTP server is nice, considering this isn’t always an option for programs that run off a disc. The ISO file is over 600 MB, which may take some time to download. Also, you must use third-party software to burn the image file to a disc or USB device because none is included. See How to Burn an ISO Image File to a DVD, CD, or BD or How to Burn an ISO File to a USB Drive for instructions if you’re not sure what you’re doing. Because Redo Rescue can’t modify the bootloader, backups must be restored to a hard drive of equal or greater size than the source, which is unfortunate. In addition to the above, this software doesn’t let you adjust the compression level.
