Dragonfly as a rescue?

I've got myself one of the Dragonfly testing CDs, and I was ondering if it would be suitable as a recovery disc, as I can't find my Knoppix or Ubuntu live CDs anywhere, and, at the current time, I don't have a CD burner to make live copy of one. Would it work, or should I keep looking?

Dragonfly? As in DragonflyBSD?

Yes,

Depends. How would you be using it as a recovery disk, exactly? What are you trying to recover?

Files from a Hard Drive if Windows or any other OS loaded failed to work.

Ah, yes it should be quite capable of this task. Would you be transferring the files to an external hard drive (or secondary internal drive)? Or optical media?

Probably to an external HD. I wasn't sure because my disk said "not a good backup unless Grub is ----ed." and that was written by my brother a while ago.
