Redo Backup and Recovery is a GPLv3 Perl script built with a GTK2+ interface designed in Glade.

Redo Backup and Recovery is a GPLv3 Perl script built with a GTK2+ interface designed in Glade. It is simply a front end to partclone, which performs the actual backup and restore. The live CD is built on Ubuntu to provide a graphical user interface and unmodified binaries of each program, but the script will run on any Linux platform that has the required programs installed.

I'm finally getting around to updating from Win7 to Win10. Before I do that on the Media PC I'm replacing my 1TB drive (with the Windows system in a partition on that) with a 2TB drive, and clone the existing disk image over to that. In the past I've used CLONEZILLA (see http://clonezilla.org/) but this time around it kept bombing out with bad sectors in the system partition. So I thought I'd try REDO this time around. So far so good.

I do like the fact that the the REDO live disk has a copy of GPARTED on it, which I can run after the clone's done, and add extra partitions and change the size of the existing ones (in particular, the Win sys partition). .
