11 <h1>About Mondo Rescue</h1>
12 <div class="h2-1">
13 <h2>What is Mondo Rescue ?</h2>
14 </div>
15 <p>
16 <B>Mondo is reliable.</B> It backs up your GNU/Linux server or
17 workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R[W], DVD+R[W], NFS or hard disk partition. In the
18 event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of
19 your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary.
20 Mondo is in use by Lockheed-Martin, Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP,
21 IBM, NASA's JPL, the US Dept of Agriculture, dozens of
22 smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users.</P>
23
24 <p>
25 <B>Mondo is comprehensive.</B> Mondo supports LVM 1/2, RAID, ext2, ext3,
26 JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, UFS, and can support additional filesystems
27 easily: just e-mail the <A HREF="/support.shtml">mailing list</A>
28 with your request. It supports software raid as well as most hardware raid controllers. It supports adjustments in disk geometry,
29 including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major
30 Linux distributions (RedHat, RHEL, SuSE, SLES, Mandriva, Debian, Gentoo) and is getting better all the time. You may even
31 use it to backup non-Linux partitions, such as NTFS.</P>
32 <p>
33 <B>Mondo is free!</B> It has been published under the GPL v2 (GNU Public
34 License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers
35 but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community.

95 </div>
96 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
97 There are dozens of regular <a href="/thanks.shtml">contributors</a> and over 400 members of the mailing list. The user base is estimated at between 50,000 and 100,000.</P>
98 <P>The mondo project is now tracked by Ohloh, and you may get more information of the project's value by clicking here: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ohloh.net/projects/4121/widgets/project_partner_badge"></script></P>

100 Mondo Rescue was first created because there was nothing like
101 it available at that time under a free license. Nowadays,
102 Mondo is not the only good, free disaster recovery solution for
103 Linux. You may wish to try <A HREF="http://mkcdrec.ota.be"><B>mkcdrec</B></A>.
104 The software has been in existence for almost as long as Mondo, it
105 supports the same filesystems (including RAID and LVM), and its
106 author is friendly and helpful.</P>
