It was initially created to be able to easily back up or create a distributable copy of an Ubuntu or derivative installation.

remastersys is intended to serve as an easy way to create a customized Live CD/DVD version of Ubuntu. The resulting iso can also be installed on a USB pendrive, creating a Live USB distro, using either a command-line approach[3] or a graphical tool such as UNetbootin.
It has a command line version and a GUI version.
