|

| 60 | Mondo. Edit the mountlist when prompted.</P>

|
|---|
| 65 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 66 | <B>A: </B>Restore in Interactive Mode. Delete the SCSI drive from the
|
|---|
| 67 | mountlist before you restore. Then Mondo won't try to partition or
|
|---|
| 68 | format it. Next time you backup, use -E /dev/sdd (or whatever your
|
|---|
| 69 | zip drive is). The /dev entry will be excluded from the mountlist but
|
|---|
| 70 | not from the filelist. So, when you restore, you won't accidentally
|
|---|
| 71 | reformat your zip disk. However, after restoring, you will find that
|
|---|
| 72 | /dev/sdd (the _file_) will still be present in your /dev directory.

|
|---|
| 77 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 78 | <B>A: </B>It usually means either you had a very large (>2GB) file
|
|---|
| 79 | which was not archived owing to a flaw in your distro or your
|
|---|
| 80 | filesystem has changed in relation to the backup.</P>

|
|---|
| 84 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 85 | <B>A: </B>Mondo creates a 10MB journal file area. Your journal was
|
|---|
| 86 | probably smaller than that, hence the difference.</P>

|

| 104 | <B>A: </B>You said it yourself. You have to do it manually. :) Sorry
|
|---|
| 105 | but that's about it. At least you have all the tools to do it. I
|
|---|
| 106 | assume you know how. If you don't, look at i-want-my-lvm (a script on
|
|---|
| 107 | the ramdisk) if you're using LVM. It should give you a few clues.
|
|---|
| 108 | RAID is harder but in general Mondo's RAID support is good. After
|
|---|
| 109 | you've prepped and formatted your drives, run mondorestore again but
|
|---|
| 110 | say 'no' when asked if you want Mondo to prep or format your drives.</P>
