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

93 <h2>The Mondo Rescue Community</h2>
94 </div>
95 <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
96 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>
97 <P>
98 Mondo Rescue was first created because there was nothing like
99 it available at that time under a free license. Nowadays,
100 Mondo is not the only good, free disaster recovery solution for
101 Linux. You may wish to try <A HREF="http://mkcdrec.ota.be"><B>mkcdrec</B></A>.
102 The software has been in existence for almost as long as Mondo, it
103 supports the same filesystems (including RAID and LVM), and its
104 author is friendly and helpful.</P>
