HELP FILE
Users of Mac OS X 10.10, 10.11,10.12, 10.13, and 10.14 can use Data Rescue to create a special startup drive for simple recovery of a non-booting internal drive. Unfortunately, the developers of Data Rescue are unable to support this feature in Mac OS X 10.15 and newer due to the restrictions imposed by Apple. Tip: Rescue technicians with a Single Sign-On (SSO) ID can also launch the Rescue Desktop Technician Console using any supported SSO authentication method. Remember: Technician Console for Mac will use the language set as the preferred language of the Mac OS X.
How can I remotely control a customer's Mac running macOS Catalina?
