|

| 13 | </div>
|
|---|
| 14 | <B>Mondo is reliable.</B> It backs up your GNU/Linux server or
|
|---|
| 15 | workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW, NFS or hard disk partition. In the
|
|---|
| 16 | event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of
|
|---|
| 17 | your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary.
|
|---|
| 18 | Mondo is in use by Lockheed-Martin, Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP (US
|
|---|
| 19 | and France), IBM, NASA's JPL, the US Dept of Agriculture, dozens of
|
|---|
| 20 | smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users.</P>
|
|---|
| 21 | <B>Mondo is comprehensive.</B> Mondo supports LVM, RAID, ext2, ext3,
|
|---|
| 22 | JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, and can support additional filesystems
|
|---|
| 23 | easily: just e-mail the <A HREF="/feedback.html">mailing list</A>
|
|---|
| 24 | with your request. It supports adjustments in disk geometry,
|
|---|
| 25 | including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major
|
|---|
| 26 | Linux distributions and is getting better all the time. You may even
|
|---|
| 27 | use it to backup non-Linux partitions, such as NTFS.</P>
|
|---|
| 28 | <B>Mondo is free!</B> It has been published under the GPL (GNU Public
|
|---|
| 29 | License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers
|
|---|
| 30 | but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community. I charge for
|
|---|
| 31 | 1-to-1 technical support to fund Mondo's development.</P>

| 64 | There are dozens of regular contributors and over 300 members of the
|

| 65 | mailing list. The user base is estimated at between 50,000 and
|

| 66 | 100,000. Mondo has a vibrant, active, rambunctious user and developer community.</P>

| 68 | When I first created Mondo, I did so because there was nothing like
|
|---|
| 69 | it available to me (not for a reasonable price, at least). Nowadays,
|
|---|
| 70 | Mondo is not the only good, free disaster recovery solution for
|
|---|
| 71 | Linux. You may wish to try <A HREF="http://mkcdrec.ota.be"><B>mkcdrec</B></A>.
|
|---|
| 72 | The software has been in existence for almost as long as Mondo, it
|
|---|
| 73 | supports the same filesystems (including RAID and LVM), and its
|
|---|
| 74 | author is friendly and helpful.</P>

| 76 | Final thoughts</P>
|

| 77 | "Mondo is aimed at skilled users, not the 3l33T3 war3z crowd.
