Linux Server Disaster Recovery topic again.

I've read many posts here that recommended mondo as free and opensource backup/DR solution for linux server. And i've tried it last week on two servers but without sucess.

target server and backup server are with same hardware/OS. 1u IDE(single ATA disk)+SLES9SP3x86.
After read the document and their wiki/FAQ, i've installed necessary packages on target server then launched mondorescue program and choosed NFS option , the backup job finished without any problem. I could see 6 ISO image have been created on backup server's NFS share.

Next, i burned the first ISO image to CDRW and boot the target server, type nuke ipconf=eth1:192.168.0.5:255.255.255.0:192.168.0.255:192.168.0.1,
after the mini kernel loaded, it try to ping my nfs server(backup server) and looks it can touch my nfs server without problem .But then stopped & quit to shell prompt with the error " NFS RPC timeout". Finally i found i couldn't mount the remote nfs server manully.

i've double checked my NFS server(backup server) setting and cfg files' contents that inside the first ISO image,but the error still there.

Anyone has experienced the same problem with me?

btw, the mondo i used is the latest version downloaded from their project site.

Thanks,
