| 39 | I hope you don't have to restore from scratch very often. It's
|
|---|
| 40 | nerve-wracking until you realize that Mondo's restore engine is very
|
|---|
| 41 | reliable. I backup and restore my system 2 or 3 times a week as part
|
|---|
| 42 | of the testing process. I have no other backup regime, so it had
|
|---|
| 43 | better work.</P>
|

|

| 45 | If you find that you cannot make your PC boot from the CD, take
|
|---|
| 46 | heart: the first backup CD of each set contains floppy disk images to
|
|---|
| 47 | give you the same functionality as the CD (minus the archives, of
|
|---|
| 48 | course) on floppies. Remember, your Mondo CD is a fully functional CD-based
|
|---|
| 49 | mini-distribution as well as a recovery CD.</P>
