ALT Linux Rescue is a moderate sized LiveCD distribution that is designed to help sysadmins fix and repair many kinds of problems with systems they are or feel responsible for; so it comes with tools aiding to:

• perform hardware diagnostics

• resize partitions

• fix bootloaders, partitions, filesystems

• recover partitions and files

• backup and restore to network servers

• deal with optical, tape and file archives

• optimize filesystem usage

• diagnose network problems and remote services

• wipe partitions and drives clean

• access Android devices, reset Windows passwords, etc.

• investigate unauthorized access/security breach events
All of that is packaged into a convenient hybrid ISO image file suitable for both CD/DVD media and USB Flash pendrives.
The resulting media should be bootable on most x86 systems:

• 32-bit ones starting roughly with Intel Pentium II/160M or equivalent,

• 64-bit ones on any AMD64 compatible hardware with BIOS or UEFI.
