Where Does Rescuezilla Save Backups?
Rescuezilla default backup destination handling on live USB runs and where run logs go for restores.
Last updated
Rescuezilla asks for a destination on every backup. There is no fixed repository like an installed app would have. The wizard lists mounted disks and network shares for picking. Cloning and imaging share the same flow.
Each backup becomes a folder with partclone images, checksums, and machine info. Logs for the run sit beside them for debugging failed restores. Copy whole folders to move backups. Mount the same storage before restoring on another machine. Name folders clearly for later restores.
Where Rescuezilla stores this, by platform
/media/rescuezilla (chosen destination)
