60 | <para>A: Yes. Just backup your system in Interactive Mode using

|

65 | <para>A: Restore in Interactive Mode. Delete the SCSI drive from
|
---|
66 | the mountlist before you restore. Then Mondo won't try to partition
|
---|
67 | or format it. Next time you backup, use -E /dev/sdd (or whatever
|
---|
68 | your zip drive is). The /dev entry will be excluded from the
|
---|
69 | mountlist but not from the filelist. So, when you restore, you
|
---|
70 | won't accidentally reformat your zip disk. However, after
|
---|
71 | restoring, you will find that /dev/sdd (the _file_) will still be
|
---|
72 | present in your /dev directory. Cool, eh?</para>

74 | NNN failed' during restore. What does it mean.</para>
|
---|
75 | <para>A: It usually means either you had a very large (>2GB)
|
---|
76 | file which was not archived owing to a flaw in your distro or your
|
---|
77 | filesystem has changed in relation to the backup.</para>

|

80 | <para>A: Mondo creates a 10MB journal file area. Your journal was
|
---|
81 | probably smaller than that, hence the difference.</para>

|

89 | <varlistentry><term>A: It sounds as if you are running out of disk

90 | space, probably ram disk space. Type 'df -m' to see which

91 | partitions are running low on space. Please send as much
|

92 | information as you can to the mailing list. This problem is

93 | believed to have been fixed in 1.63 and 1.71.</term>

|
---|
97 | <para>A: You said it yourself. You have to do it manually. :) Sorry
|
---|
98 | but that's about it. At least you have all the tools to do it. I
|
---|
99 | assume you know how. If you don't, look at i-want-my-lvm (a script
|
---|
100 | on the ramdisk) if you're using LVM. It should give you a few
|
---|
101 | clues. RAID is harder but in general Mondo's RAID support is good.

102 | After you've prepped and formatted your drives, run mondorestore

103 | again but say 'no' when asked if you want Mondo to prep or format
