mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS, FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.

The mkCDrec utilities are optional for mkCDrec itself, but are an added value for rescue and recovery purposes. The utilities are staticly compiled and include parted, memtest, partimage, gpart, and recover. Memtest86 is also available for memory testing.

Relax-and-Recover (Rear) is a bare metal disaster recovery and system migration solution, similar to AIX mksysb or HP-UX ignite. It is composed of a modular framework and ready-to-go workflows for many common situations to produce a bootable image and restore from backup using this image. It can restore to different hardware, and can therefore be used as a migration tool as well. It supports various boot media (including tape, USB, or eSATA storage, ISO, PXE, etc.), a variety of network protocols (including SFTP, FTP, HTTP, NFS, and CIFS), as well as a multitude of backup strategies (including IBM TSM, HP DataProtector, Symantec NetBackup, Bacula, and rsync). It was designed to be easy to set up, requires no maintenance, and is there to assist when disaster strikes. Recovering from disaster is made very straight-forward by a 2-step recovery process so that it can be executed by operational teams when required. When used interactively (e.g. when used for migrating systems), menus help make decisions to restore to a new (hardware) environment.
