57 | <para>For most users, that should be enough. :-) Mondoarchive will

58 | usually autodetect your hardware and configure it for you.</para>
|
---|
59 | <para>If you are a power user (or you like to control every detail
|
---|
60 | of how Mondo runs) then you may want to look at the command-line
|
---|
61 | switches. For example:-</para>

|

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