What is Remastersys?
Remastersys is an open-source tool for Linux that allows users to backup their entire operating system and software configuration into a single ISO image file. This includes backing up system files, settings, installed applications, and user data.
Some key features of Remastersys include:
- Creates a bootable ISO image that can be used to replicate the system on another computer
- Backs up the complete Linux operating system, not just user files
- Customize the resulting ISO with scripts and additional software packages
- Supports most major Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE
- Free and open source software released under GNU GPL
Once the system backup is created with Remastersys, users can archive the ISO or use it for various purposes like system migration, cloning machines with the exact same configuration, reverting to a known good configuration, or distribution to others. It allows new installations to have software, updates, and customizations already applied. Overall, Remastersys makes it easy for Linux users to backup, clone, and replicate complete Linux system installations.
