4 | MondoRescue is the premier GPL disaster recovery suite for Linux/FreeBSD. |
---|
5 | |
---|
6 | This is the Mondo part of MondoRescue. Mondo comprises the mondoarchive and |
---|
7 | mondorescue tools that carry out the actual backups and and restores. The part |
---|
8 | of MondoReccue responsible for creating boot media is called Mindi and |
---|
9 | available in a separate package. |
---|
10 | |
---|
11 | MondoRescue is reliable. It backs up your server or workstation to tape, CD-R, |
---|
12 | CD-RW, DVD, NFS or hard disk partition. In the event of catastrophic data loss, |
---|
13 | you will be able to restore all of your data [or as much as you want], from |
---|
14 | bare metal if necessary. MondoRescue is in use by numerous blue-chip |
---|
15 | enterprises and large organizations, dozens of smaller companies, and tens of |
---|
16 | thousands of users. |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | MondoRescue is comprehensive. MondoRescue supports LVM, RAID, ext2, ext3, JFS, |
---|
19 | XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, and can support additional file systems easily. It |
---|
20 | supports adjustments in disk geometry, including migration from non-RAID to |
---|
21 | RAID. MondoRescue runs on all major Linux distributions and FreeBSD and is |
---|
22 | getting better all the time. You may even use it to backup non-Linux |
---|
23 | partitions, such as NTFS. |
