It is a modular framework with many ready-to-go workflows for common situations. Relax-and-Recover produces a bootable image. This image can repartition the system. Once that is done it initiates a restore from backup. Restores to different hardware are possible. Relax-and-Recover can therefore be used as a migration tool as well.

I come from a legacy Unix background, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and until now was unhappy with linux not having a means of creating a bootable system backup on either tape, ot some other media. Now I have found and tested rear, and love it. It lets me do exactly what I want, even to a PXE server across the network. I am currently using a USB disk drive though, as I do not have a PXE server set up at home.
