Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all from the All in One – System Rescue Toolkit project!
We’re coming up on the end of 2019 and it has been a crazy few months. We have physically moved to a new place. I am having to take someone to court over an agreement dispute. Plus all the other normal holiday and end of year extras.
I know I have hyped up the next release of my toolkit and wanted to give you all some insight into the next update progress. It will just be some time before the next release is feature complete and fully tested with everything else going on.

Other New Things
- Live stream coding sessions with Q&A – Come hang out and ask questions about the toolkit or anything really. Maybe you just want to see how stuff like this is built and lurk in the shadows.
- Discord Server(link) – I set this up and we have had dozens of people pop in, not much chatting, but I’ll see how this can be integrated into the community more after the next release.

I have not seen an update since Jan 2018. When is the next update expected? Thanks!
Honestly, I do not have a planned release date. The development has stalled since COVID-19 struck, even though it started with a “full steam ahead” approach in 2019.
I am still working full time, but my personal time is pretty much “survival mode” these days. There isn’t much mental space to continue development right now, but that doesn’t mean I am waiting for COVID-19 to be over.
I know there is an entire community here that is looking forward to a new release. I have not dropped off the planet, yet! I don’t plan on giving up on the project, either. I am too much of a stickler for keeping the toolkit at a high quality release to push what I have right now. It’s close, really close, but the final stretch involves LOTS of testing, troubleshooting, different operating systems, etc.
It will come in due time, for now 2018 is the latest version.
I noticed you didn’t mention Clonezilla in this update (my apologies for posting so late, actually). Did you happen to update it and/or figure out the bug relating to the inability to encrypt a backup?
Hope your new year’s off to a great start!
Clonezilla is part of the Lubuntu/LiveCD portion and will be updated when released to the version available in repositories.
Thanks for all of your effort Paul , keep up the good work.
Hi Paul, thank you for your continuous work!
I have a question regarding components you removed (I really like WinDirStat), did you replaced functions of those packages by new additions or you just decided they are no longer useful?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Each component removed was replaced with a counterpart except Microsoft Security Essentials.
The WinDirStat replacement is spacesniffer. It gives a live updating view with a similar segmented box style view. It also has other features I liked which I forget at the moment.
