| 12 | <h2>What is Mondo Rescue ?</h2>
|
|---|
| 13 | </div>
|
|---|
| [361] | 14 | <p>
|
|---|
| [358] | 15 | <B>Mondo is reliable.</B> It backs up your GNU/Linux server or
|
|---|
| [362] | 16 | workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R[W], DVD+R[W], NFS or hard disk partition. In the
|
|---|
| [358] | 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.
|
|---|
| [361] | 19 | Mondo is in use by Lockheed-Martin, Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP,
|
|---|
| 20 | IBM, NASA's JPL, the US Dept of Agriculture, dozens of
|
|---|
| [358] | 21 | smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users.</P>
|
|---|
| [361] | 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | <p>
|
|---|
| 24 | <B>Mondo is comprehensive.</B> Mondo supports LVM 1/2, RAID, ext2, ext3,
|
|---|
| [358] | 25 | JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, and can support additional filesystems
|
|---|
| [372] | 26 | easily: just e-mail the <A HREF="/support.shtml">mailing list</A>
|
|---|
| [362] | 27 | with your request. It supports software raid as well as most hardware raid controllers. It supports adjustments in disk geometry,
|
|---|
| [358] | 28 | including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major
|
|---|
| [362] | 29 | Linux distributions (RedHat, RHEL, SuSE, SLES, Mandriva, Debian) and is getting better all the time. You may even
|
|---|
| [358] | 30 | use it to backup non-Linux partitions, such as NTFS.</P>
|
|---|
| [361] | 31 | <p>
|
|---|
| [362] | 32 | <B>Mondo is free!</B> It has been published under the GPL v2 (GNU Public
|
|---|
| [358] | 33 | License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers
|
|---|
| [361] | 34 | but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community.

|
|---|
| [361] | 98 | Mondo Rescue was first created because there was nothing like
|
|---|
| 99 | it available at that time under a free license. Nowadays,
|
|---|
| [358] | 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>
