For me it's usually related to modifying partitions, changing disks, OS upgrades going wrong, or some minor disk corruption.

It's not common, but if you manage enough systems then even rare things happen enough that you'll need tools like this in your tool belt.

I usually reach for a live-OS booted off a USB drive (Ventoy is good for having lots of OS options on a single USB drive) but I'd be interested in giving this a try.
