A few days ago, we brought you CampTune from Paragon Software. This group of software manufacturers offers some really interesting tools to help you improve the whole Mac user experience.

When it comes to recovering from a crash, you have many options and paths to take. It will always depend on the kind and source of trouble you encounter. One of my favorite options to recover from a classic crash (as in the Mac-won’t-start-after-an-update crash) is to connect a Firewire cable between the healthy Mac and the sick Mac, start the troubled system with the T key pressed on the keyboard, and try a few things like re-installing the problematic update, going backwards to a restore, or just backing up my data and reinstalling the system.

You have many options, and today we’ll introduce a very nice one. Rescue Kit is a recovery system for the Mac, based on a bootable CD that will allow you to save your computer from some major crashes, and, in some cases where you won’t be able to fix it (like a hardware failure), at least you’ll have a chance to save the most important asset of a computer: the information.

After booting your Mac with the rescue disk, you will be able to use all the necessary tools to keep your Mac alive with intuitive and efficient handling through a user-friendly interface.

Paragon Rescue Kit for Mac supports all Intel-based Macs, providing the possibility to easily back up your Windows, Linux or Mac OS and data partitions to any media you have (USB and Firewire drives, or network) with high performance and minimal system overhead.

Since it’s still at a pre-release stage, just like CampTune, the software is completely free. You can go now to their website, download the rescue kit, and burn a bootable CD that could save your life at any moment.

Don’t leave it to chance; it’ll just take a few minutes and a blank CD. It’s better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
