Rescue mode

Rescue mode boots a temporary system from which you can reach your VPS disk even when it will not start.

Turn on rescue mode
In the VPS panel [To be confirmed], choose Rescue and reboot. Note the temporary password it shows.
2
Connect over SSH
bash
```
ssh root@[YOUR_IP]
```
3
Find and mount your disk
bash
```
lsblk
mount /dev/[PARTITION] /mnt
```
4
Recover or fix what you need
For example, copy your data to another machine:
bash
```
scp -r /mnt/home/[USER] [OTHER_MACHINE]:/backups/
```
Leave rescue mode
Unmount with umount /mnt, turn rescue mode off in the panel and reboot normally.

Which systems can I choose?

The list of templates depends on the panel [To be confirmed]. It usually includes several versions of Ubuntu, Debian and other distributions.
