| 13 | <h2>What is Mondo Rescue ?</h2>
|
|---|
| 14 | </div>
|
|---|
| 15 | <p>
|
|---|
| 16 | <B>Mondo is reliable.</B> It backs up your GNU/Linux server or
|
|---|
| 17 | workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R[W], DVD+R[W], NFS or hard disk partition. In the
|
|---|
| 18 | event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of
|
|---|
| 19 | your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary.
|
|---|
| 20 | Mondo is in use by Lockheed-Martin, Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP,
|
|---|
| 21 | IBM, NASA's JPL, the US Dept of Agriculture, dozens of
|
|---|
| 22 | smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users.</P>
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>
|
|---|
| 25 | <B>Mondo is comprehensive.</B> Mondo supports LVM 1/2, RAID, ext2, ext3, ext4,
|
|---|
| 26 | JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, and can support additional filesystems
|
|---|
| 27 | easily: just e-mail the <A HREF="/support.shtml">mailing list</A>
|
|---|
| 28 | with your request. It supports software raid as well as most hardware raid controllers. It supports adjustments in disk geometry,
|
|---|
| 29 | including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major
|
|---|
| 30 | Linux distributions (RedHat, RHEL, SuSE, SLES, Mandriva, Debian, Gentoo) and is getting better all the time. You may even
|
|---|
| 31 | use it to backup non-Linux partitions, such as NTFS.</P>
|
|---|
| 32 | <p>
|
|---|
| 33 | <B>Mondo is free!</B> It has been published under the GPL v2 (GNU Public
|
|---|
| 34 | License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers
|
|---|
| 35 | but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community.
|
|---|
| 36 | </P>

| 182 | Mondo Rescue was first created because there was nothing like
|
|---|
| 183 | it available at that time under a free license. Nowadays,
|
|---|
| 184 | Mondo is not the only good, free disaster recovery solution for
|
|---|
| 185 | Linux. You may wish to try <A HREF="http://mkcdrec.ota.be"><B>mkcdrec</B></A>.
|
|---|
| 186 | The software has been in existence for almost as long as Mondo, it
|
|---|
| 187 | supports the same filesystems (including RAID and LVM), and its
|
|---|
| 188 | author is friendly and helpful. Another more recent tool is <A HREF="http://clonezilla.org/">Clonezilla</A>.</P>
