Linux RedHat

It is UNIVERSAL.
Please go and read the documentation on the website at www.mondorescue.org

It offers excellent documentation and has even a lab guide of sorts.

I was going to www.mondorescue.org but not sure which SW to download, also After I download it on the linux server, do I need to install it ?

Thank you
Michael.

Pick the version that is appropo for your version. Note there should be 4 or 5 rpms that you would need to download:

afio-2.4.7-1.x86_64.rpm
buffer-1.19-1.x86_64.rpm
mindi-2.0.7.5-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
mindi-busybox-1.7.3-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm
mondo-2.2.9.4-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Then you simply rpm install all of them.

Hi,

I can not find it under "downloads" where exectly I should look for them ?

[Alzhy]

It's really on the Website sir.... you just have to read and use due diligence on your end.

I checked and found that I have the SuSe Linux box in our LAB: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586)


so, I should download and install this Stuff:

/suse/10.0/i386/
afio-2.4.7-1.i386.rpm
buffer-1.19-1.i386.rpm
mindi-2.0.6-1.suse10.0.i586.rpm
mindi-busybox-1.7.3-1.suse10.0.i586.rpm
mondo-2.2.9.4-1.suse10.0.i586.rpm


Is it right or someting else?

Also where I can find the documentation how to configure it ?

Thank you.
Michael.

[Alzhy]

It is right on the website sir.

www.mondorescue.org

Or you can just launch the Interactive GUI... simply type "mondoarchive" and explore away.

Sample Script I use on my weekly OS Backups:


/usr/sbin/mondoarchive -O -i -N -d $MONDODEST -T $MONDOSCR -S $MONDOSCR -s 8960
m -E "'$EXCLUDE_LIST /var/tmp /tmp'" -p $MONDOFILE > ${MONDOLOGS}/${MONDOFILE}.
log

It creates an ISO (DVD Duakl Layer Sized) of our OS sans the non-OS mounts/filesystems.

[emp001]

Hello,

Do I have the option: instead of creating the ISO image and burn it on DVD , just to create the archave with data and all client's configuration stuff, and to restore it via network to the client, so it can work the same way as make_net_recovery on HP-UX ?

[Matti_Kurkela]

Yes you can.

However, to restore anything onto a PC system that has no OS, you must have some way to boot it to Mondo rescue environment (called Mindi). You must either set up a PXE boot server with a Mondo rescue boot option, or boot the system using a Mondo boot CD.

You really should read the documentation for Mondo: this is one of the standard examples.
