Rescuezilla 2.4 is here: Grab it before you need it
The former images an entire drive to an image file on a removable device or across the network, or restores such an image onto a drive. The latter function, Clone, works directly disk-to-disk. The main screen also has functions to verify an image, or to explore its contents. And it's possible to restrict the functions to just certain partitions.
If those functions aren't what you want, there are also links on the desktop to Firefox – in this version, a natively packaged version rather than a Snap – and to Gparted, a text editor and a terminal emulator. There's a minimal LXDE desktop, and the start menu has an image viewer, a file manager, a screenshot tool, and the text-mode TestDisk file-undelete tool and PhotoRec, which can scan damaged or corrupt media for image files.

Rescuezilla does have kernel 4.15 as well as NTFS-3G and thecommand preloaded, so if you know how to manipulate Windows drives, you could attempt manual repairs, but some extra automation wouldn't hurt. Say, a script to find Windows partitions, delete the paging, swap and hibernation files, and empty all the Temp directories then schedule a disk check. These would be a big win.
Rescuezilla has more options than Redo Rescue, and it's far friendlier than Clonezilla, so it beats both. Saying that, there's still room for improvement: we'd like to see options for bootloader recovery, for a start. Until then, while this is a useful tool that will replace Clonezilla on the author's emergency USB key, we will keep
