mondo-devel Mailing List for Mondo Rescue

www.microwerks.net/~hugo/download.html

Please download and install Mindi v0.24 and Mondo v1.00 (test).

I have not finished testing it yet.

- backup to CD's --- OK
- compare CD's against filesystem --- OK
- backup, wipe & restore --- haven't tried it yet

I look forward to your feedback.

Good to be back! :-)

-Hugo

Great!

FYI: I have used VMWare to test my restore, which is cool as you don't have to
nuke your (working!) system to test it ;-)

What I do is:

1) Run Mondo on my main system
2) Burn the CDs
3) Build a VMWare VM with a HDD as large as the one on my system
4) Boot from the first CD
5) Restore

Luckily I have found that I was not able to automatically restore everything.
There seems to be a problem with creating the ReiserFS on some of the
partitions. With a lot of manual work I got my data partially restored, but
then the system didn't boot.. ;-) I gave up after that and decided to rely on
my normal backup on a second harddisk and to wait for the next Mondo ...

FYI,

I've finished combining Mindi and Mondo (or linking them, anyway). Now, Mondo does everything it used to do but with a boot/root kit based on your own system.

I'll put it on my web site tomorrow. Please do send me your feedback.

I plan to publish on FreshMeat next week.

Hello, I just discovered mondo and was very pleased with the creation of =
backup cd images=20
and burning. However when I boot from the created CD I cannot mount any =
of my IDE harddisks.

The system tells me there is no driver for hda. The device is detected =
by the kernel.

I created the backup running Red Hat 6.2, I have tried this with several =
hard drives and machines=20
and still get the same error.=20

Anyone know what may cause this?

Thanks,=20
  Michael

I would vote for perl. Not that I'm a guru. But I could patch it. Not
if it's python. C is Ok. YMMV :-)

v1.0 --- shell script
v1.1 --- shell script (probably)
v1.2 --- C? Perl? Python?

Some people want Perl. Some want Python. I love C & know it inside out, so I am naturally drawn to C.

OK, maybe Python. No, be strong.. must.. resist.....

The bad news: I'm getting a divorce. I'm 100% OK and I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm fine. I mention this only because my wife has e-mailed every friend of mine whose e-mail address she can lay her hands on, to tell them what a terrible husband I have been. (I have not returned the favor.) Most of what she says is untrue and the rest is exaggerated. As usual, there are two sides to every story.

The good news: Now that my wife and I are no longer together, I have the resources to own a computer again.

In about 10 days, I shall release Mondo v1.0; it will incorporate a lot of bugfixes and that's about it. Then, I'll begin working with a friend of mine to port Mondo to Python.

The web site will be updated shortly. Shortly = when I've finished building my PC, plus 48 hours :^)

MkCdRec is now Mondo's chief competitor. The author began writing it when Mondo was at v0.972 (AFAIK) and that means he has been developing it for most of the time that I've been 'out of action'. This is a Good Thing (TM) because before Mondo, there was no Open Source disaster-recovery suite for Linux that backed up to CD-R's; now, there are two. I think the competition will be good for both products.

If you have any ideas, comments or suggestions, please do e-mail me (or this list).

-Hugo

The subject says it all.

I don't know when this will be fixed.
