Highlights of Rescuezilla 2.6 include a brand-new base derived from the Ubuntu 24.10 “Oracular Oriole” operating system series to provide users with the best possible hardware support, as well as an updated UEFI Secure Boot shim package to support Windows 11 machines.

This release also fixes querying of drives in the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) 32-bit build, which was broken in Rescuezilla 2.5 due to using the --merge feature introduced in util-linux 2.34.

Rescuezilla 2.6 Released with Secure Boot Fixes and Updated Hardware Support

Rescuezilla, a well-known tool for disk imaging and recovery that provides a user-friendly graphical interface for performing backups, restores, and clones of hard drives and partitions, has just launched its latest version, 2.6.

Built on the Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular) release, it replaces its previous Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) and 22.10 (Kinetic) variants, making it more suitable for modern hardware right out of the box. However, users should be aware that the Oracular variant currently ships without Mozilla Firefox, which the developers plan to reintroduce in an upcoming update.

One of the standout improvements in this release is an updated UEFI Secure Boot shim package (v1.58), critical for systems impacted by Microsoft’s Windows 11 update that recently raised the minimum “SBAT generation.”
