SystemRescue
Linux system rescue toolkit for repairing computers
SystemRescue is a Linux system rescue toolkit distributed as a bootable medium for administering or repairing a system and its data after a crash. It provides utilities for tasks such as creating and editing hard disk partitions, and includes tools like GParted, fsarchiver, filesystem tools, editors, midnight commander, and network tools. It works with both Linux and Windows computers, on desktops as well as servers, and requires no installation when booted from a CD/DVD drive or USB stick, though it can also be installed on the hard disk. The kernel supports ext4, xfs, btrfs, vfat, ntfs, and network filesystems such as Samba and NFS.
The toolkit includes GNU Parted and GParted for partition management, FSArchiver for system and data recovery, ddrescue for copying block devices with hardware errors, filesystem tools for formatting, resizing and debugging, Ntfs3g for read/write access to NTFS partitions, TestDisk for partition recovery, Memtest for memory testing, and rsync for backups. Network tools include Samba, NFS, ping and nslookup. Custom versions can be created, with options for adding scripts, automatic restoration, YAML configuration, PXE network booting, and autorun at startup. The project is licensed under GPLv3, with sources available on GitLab.
