Well, it is on the RIP rescue ISO image for x86 PCs.

Together with a wealth of other data recovery tools.
(But beware of the editor which calls itself 'vi'.)

I tested a RIP-CD together with a full star -dump backup
on the system partition of an old SuSE system. The partition
was zeroed and filled with random bytes after backup and
before restore.

Besides that LILO lost its head, the system restored flawlessly.
(The boot sector did not point to the restored LILO body.
So i needed to boot the restored system by RIP's GRUB and
to run the LILO install command. Then it was ok.)


Have a nice day :)
