Rescue mode provides the ability to boot a small Linux environment from another disk so that you can rescue your primary linux VPS or backup files that are present on it.

This mode could be enabled using the VPS management panel in the client area on BGOcloud.com or in VPS management center using username/password sent to You via the confirmation e-mail.

How-to:
