| 34 | <para>I hope you don't have to restore from scratch very often.
|
---|
| 35 | It's nerve-wracking until you realize that Mondo's restore engine
|
---|
| 36 | is very reliable. I backup and restore my system 2 or 3 times a
|
---|
| 37 | week as part of the testing process. I have no other backup regime,
|
---|
| 38 | so it had better work.</para>
|
---|
| 39 | <para>If you find that you cannot make your PC boot from the CD,
|
---|
| 40 | take heart: the first backup CD of each set contains floppy disk
|
---|
| 41 | images to give you the same functionality as the CD (minus the
|
---|
| 42 | archives, of course) on floppies. Remember, your Mondo CD is a
|
---|
| 43 | fully functional CD-based mini-distribution as well as a recovery
|
---|
| 44 | CD.</para>
