About:
Relax and Recover (abbreviated rear) is a highly modular disaster recovery framework for GNU/Linux based systems, but can be easily extended to other Unix-like systems. The disaster recovery information (and maybe the backups) can be stored via the network, or locally on hard disks or USB devices, DVD/CD-R, tape, etc. The result is also a bootable image that is capable of booting via PXE, DVD/CD, and tape (OBDR).

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
This release supports many recent distributions, including "upstart" (Ubuntu 7.10). It has more IA-64 support (RHEL5 only at the moment), better error reporting and catching, Debian packages (mkdeb), and improved TSM support.
