Mondo Rescue
Mondo Rescue archives Linux and Linux/Windows systems to tapes, CDs, DVDs, USB devices, or ISO images that may be used to restore some or all of your OS and data in the event of catastrophic data loss, or for cloning a system. The emphasis is on stability and ease of use. Currently, ext2, ext3, ext4, (v)fat, minix, ReiserFS, XFS, and JFS filesystems are supported, as are RAID, DM, Multipath, and LVM.

Release Notes: This release correctly supports software RAID on RHEL 6, with re-creation of metadata and UUIDs. It fixes restoration issues for Debian and Ubuntu, as well as on RHEL 5 (the tune2fs command wasn’t working for ext4; it required the use of tune4fs). It supports out of tree kernel modules (such as hpsa from the PSP/SPP) and has improved support for latest HP ProLiant Blades. It fixes many small annoyances (like #616), especially thanks to new automated regression tests.

Release Notes: This is the first step of the "Long Time Support" approach for MondoRescue. The goal is to provide you with mostly bugfixes, as well as minimal changes to allow for support teams and stable environments to be disrupted as little as possible. In particular, this version fixes #363, #364, and #367, improves Debian/Ubuntu support, and provides a "nolvm" option.

Release Notes: Bugs were fixed. SSHFS is now supported in addition to NFS. This release added the latest initrd FS for 2.6.30+ kernels, exclusion of devices and partitions in LVM, pre- and post-restore scripts, new network drivers (bnx2x, e1000e), IA-64 fixes, grub2, and more.

Great Work!!!
Guys you did a great work. I've been trying other recovery tools and some of the areas in the recovery process doesn't work but with your tools my problem was solve.

Most people don't have the luxury of having so many software applications to choose from that they may reject a given application because of the behavior and attitudes of its authors. If you are in such a position, you are truly blessed.
By all accounts, Richard Stallman is an ass. I don't mind because emacs is a great editor, IMO. I focus on the software, not the people involved in developing it. I think that is the mature way to choose software.
Finally, if you had ever spent a day on an Open Source software project, you would know that it's a thankless task which is made harder by the laziness of users who don't read manuals and won't take a telling. Occasionally tempers do flare. It's regrettable but that's Life. Let's all just get over it and get on with it.

I think this is what made me think twice about
trying this stuff:
sourceforge.net/mailar...
by the way, mondorescue's website points to
newt. good luck getting that to work.
Re: Dependencies
> This depends on Newt.
Newt is absent from the Freshmeat database. It
is therefore apparently impossible to put it in
the 'Dependencies' section of Mondo's record in
Freshmeat.
www.mondorescue.org/do...
Look under 'Anything Missing?' Newt is listed,
as are Mondo's other dependencies.
Dependencies
This depends on Newt. But no, they apparently feel it's not their responsibility to log their dependencies with Freshmeat. Apparently it's our job to dig into the FAQ before we ever install, searching for unmentioned dependencies.
Joy. I think NO.
Respond with more nasty replies, pretty please. Show people what jerks you can be.
