Linux Disaster Recovery - Bootable Recovery?
I'm looking for something in which I can burn a live system to dvdrw, which is bootable and able to restore the system to its last backed up state.
The configuration used is 2 scsi drives, raid 1, and lvm on top of the raid. USB DVDRW, and USB Floppy. mkcdrec doesn't work well with this configuration, and I've tried multiple revisions of mondoarchive. All with little success. The system backed up, but the LVM seemed to confuse both packages.
First of all, with the exception of the two packages already mentioned does any software exist that accomplishes this? Free, or Commercial?
If not, what sort of backup solutions which can be burned to dvdrw and automated would be appropriate for os/database backups? Esentially, bare metal install worst case scenario type stuff.
FYI, the backup would never be bigger than a DVD.

Seems there has been some kind of legal dispute and the product has been pulled of the Internet.
It was free.
My alternate method of making bootable backups is thus:
Make a Windows 98/Me boot cd or diskette.
Boot the box.
Run Symmantec's Norton Ghost product and image the entire hard disk.
You can go to writeable CD or with intel NIC cards a share on nother server.
Now you have a bootable recovery method.

Re: Linux Disaster Recovery - Bootable Recovery?
Symmatec isn't going to work well on a multi disk setup either.
Suggestion: Contact HP and add your name to the list asking for a Linux Ignite port. They may decide to do it.
I'll see if I can find you a commerical product and post that in later in the day.

Re: Linux Disaster Recovery - Bootable Recovery?
Here's what I've decided on for the backups:
dump(1) will be utilized. Dump will dump the filesystem(s), and then they will be bzip2 compressed and burned to dvd-rw.
For the recovery
1. Redhat Kickstart, this will re-create a base OS and reslice the drive with raid1 and lvm.
2. Boot in rescue mode (or use a rescue distro) and use restore(1) to restore the filesystems.
Thanks for all the input
