21 Call mondorestore with -K99
22
23denymods="mod1 mod2"
24 Add those modules to the list of modules to NOT load
25
26donteject
27 mondorestore will not eject the CD; this is useful if, for instance, your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive
28
29forcemods="mod1 mod2"
30 Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically
31
32net
33 Activate network support
34
35nodmraid
36 Do not try to start dmraid support
37
38nohw
39 Do not call the mindi-rsthw script which try to restore also your BIOSes configuration (Proliant only)
40
41nompath
42 Do not try to start multipath support
43
44nopart
45 Do not try to partition drives at restore time
46
47noresize
48 Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space

51 Call mondorestore with -o and the tape device
52
53pre=/path/to/script
54 Execute a pre-configuration script before calling mondorestore. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located in the initrd.
55
56post=/path/to/script
57 Execute a final script before rebooting the machine at the end of the restoration. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located on the restored disk or in the initrd.
58
59textonly
60 do not call any Newt library routines; this is unattractive but valuable if you find your Newt library has bugs in it or on ia64
61
62usb=/dev/xxx
63 Use that USB device name as the place to look for backup content. The way drivers are loaded may lead that to the fact you have a different device name at restore time, compared to the one you used at backup time, making mondorestore unable to use the right device natively. This helper corrects that. Pass to it the device name, not the partition name. Example: usb=/dev/sdb
