Already burnt Rescuezilla to a USB, using Rufus.
And made an image of the system partition, a check if the backup was ok and made some steps to restore that partition, but did not finish it.
This is roughly what I wrote in a notepad text file for myself:
It is very useful in itself, especially for saving images.
But it's actually too easy, too little control what you click where.
The chance to backup a wrong partition is larger than what i am used to in Clonezilla.
Moreover, you have to check the image separately, it cannot be entered in one go.
The default size of the parts of the images cannot be changed, but is the same size as clonezilla 2.6.7, which is fine for me.
There are no configurable options, only the way of compression is optional.
Restoring involves more risk, because the partition table of the whole drive is completely overwritten to the situation during the backup.
It is not possible to restore the image without overwriting the partition table (I did not manage to do so).
This means that a trick like I did when reorganizing the main SSD, where I only restored the Windows partition after reorganizing the sizes of the other partitions in the drive, is not possible. That is very difficult, you really have to pay close attention to whether its is possible to overwrite the partition table of the drive or not! The risk exists my other partitions on that drive (where my documents and installation files are stored), will become unusable. In Clonezilla it is possible just to overwrite the system partition itself, as long as it stays exactly the same size. But it does not matter if other partitions have been moved or resized since the image was taken.
That's why I'll stick with the (more difficult to use) Clonezilla I am used to.
But I certainly would recommand Rescuezilla to people not familiar with Clonezilla as easy backup and restore program for complete images of system drives / partitions. As long as you are aware that the partitioning of the drive (always) needs to stay the same, even if you would install another drive in case the original drive has failed.
Edit: in the meantime an answer of the OP was written, out of which appears he's intending to use Paragon (which I do not know).
So my 'report' of the test has become rather off-topic. For which I apologize to
@gwc28 and won't continue here in possible discussions about Rescuezilla.
