Mondo & Mindi - Disaster recovery solution

Hi all,

Backups are important. This is why I wrote a tutorial explaining how to use Mondo system rescue & recovery software, and its Mindi subcomponent, which creates bootable backup ISO images.

Enjoy.

Thanks for this; never heard of these till now : what fantastic and interesting tools, I'll be having a look.
Now that I'm mostly living in Linux, back-ups have become a more real and immediate issue.

My experiences coloured by MS software borks and HW failures with tweaked MS systems and data lost.

Linux reinstalls are a breeze by comparison, but tweaks and settings lost can be bit of a pain.
( LOL, particularly if I cant remember what I actually did: I've got to keep 'templates' around as I'm not intuitively there yet. )
It has been interesting realising how much 'froth' is associated with MS OS installs compared to a lean Linux set-up pared down to what I actually use/need on a daily basis.

The Linux set-ups and recovery issues are different and a new paradigm required, but some core similarities.

Just for info -and not free- : for me for recovery it's Terabyte v the rest.
Not dissimilar interfaces in some ways to these Mondo/Mindi.

Always willing to look at something else.


One thing I have been struggling with a bit is setting up systems from scratch with home partition where all 'data' goes to the home by default.
I've sort of got some clumsy manual workarounds for saving files/images/ emails ; but: Any links ??

 

Thanks Mrk for the tutorials.

@Longboard, Does Terabytes restores Linux partitions with mbr on a dual boot system with Windows.
Currently I'm using Paragon, it can backup just Linux partitions, First track and mbr. To keep backup sizes small, I exclude Windows Partitions.
