Hi guys,
is there any make_recovery equivalent in Linux? What I want is to backup the system into bootable tape.

Thank you,
EF

No exactly .!

There is mondo that does this to floppy, cd, dvd, and also to tape, or more correctly you make a boot medium (floppy, cd, dvd, ?flash disk ?) to boot in mondo/mindi environment and the rest of your files are on tape.

Do a search in this forum on "mondo" you will find lots of links/pointers

have a look at this one.

Mondo rescue will to the job for you on Linux.

I certainly hope on HP-UX you're thinking of make_tape_recovery not the obsolete make_recovery.

Ignite is HP-UX specific. Thats too bad, but thats the current state of affairs.

There is a great tool:
mkcdrec for linux;
it's quit similar to make recovery,
you have to edit a file Config.sh to set the backup policy;
it can create the images of system or record it directly on cd or dvd
