Versie 2.2 van Rescuezilla is uitgekomen. Met dit programma kan een imageback-up van een partitie of harde schijf worden gemaakt. Ook kan het worden gebruikt om een harde schijf te klonen, of de inhoud van een image te bekijken en losse bestanden eruit te kopiëren. Rescuezilla is volledig compatibel met Clonezilla en kan overweg met virtuele images van bijvoorbeeld VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V en QEMU. Ook kan het de grootte van partities aanpassen en per ongeluk verwijderde bestanden terughalen. De release notes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
Release notesFlash 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.

(VirtualBox’s VDI, VMWare’s VMDK, Qemu’s QCOW2, HyperV's VHDx, raw .dd/.img and many more)- Added ability to restore and explore images created by all remaining open-source imaging frontends (#194)
(Redo Rescue, Foxclone, FSArchiver, Redo v0.9.2 and very-early handling of FOG Project images)- Added ability to customize compression format (gzip, zstandard, uncompressed) and compression level (#170)
- Implemented remaining Clonezilla image restore logic to improve handling of many corner cases: (#146)
