61 | For most users, that should be enough. :-) Mondoarchive will usually
|
---|
62 | autodetect your hardware and configure it for you.</P>
|
---|
63 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|

64 | If you are a power user (or you like to control every detail of how
|
---|
65 | Mondo runs) then you may want to look at the command-line switches.
|

66 | For example:-</P>

77 | Cdrecord will tell me where my CD recorder lives, in SCSI terms,
|
---|
78 | which in my case is '0,0,0'. The call to mondoarchive tells Mondo
|
---|
79 | that I want to backup everything to a 4x CD-RW drive that has a CD-RW
|
---|
80 | disk in it. (Use -Oc instead of -Ow if you are using CD-R.)</P>
|
---|
81 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
82 | Please put the first CD-R(W) in the drive now. You will be prompted
|
---|
83 | to insert CD #2 but you will not be prompted to insert the first
|
---|
84 | disk. However, if you forget, do not worry: if Mondo fails to write
|
---|
85 | the first (or any) disk, it will offer to retry, abort or fail.</P>
|
---|
86 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
87 | I run Mondo at the highest compression available ('-9) and then go to
|
---|
88 | work. I then walk home at lunch (I live right by my workplace),
|
---|
89 | change CD, eat lunch, and go back to work. When I get home, it has
|
---|
90 | all been done.</P>
|
---|
91 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
92 | Your mileage may vary. Experiment. Find the speed/compression
|
---|
93 | compromise that best suits your needs.</P>
|
---|
94 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
---|
95 | If you are using <B>cron</B> then please use -F to make sure that
|
---|
96 | Mondo does not prompt you to create bootable floppy disks. <B>Cron</B>
|
---|
97 | does not handle user interaction well because it pipes stdin and
|
---|
98 | stdout specially. Please consult <B>cron</B>'s manual for more
|
---|
99 | information. Jesse Keating has written a script for <B>cron</B>/Mondo
