At restore time, multiple parameters are available to modify how the restore will act:

nuke
    To format and restore all files automatically

interactive
    To restore some/all files interactively

compare
    To compare the archives with your filesystem

expert
    To boot to a command-line prompt (expert mode)

RESTORE
    To format and restore all files automatically

--------------

debug
    Call mondorestore with -K99

denymods="mod1 mod2"
    Add those modules to the list of modules to NOT load

donteject
    mondorestore will not eject the CD; this is useful if, for instance, your PC's case has a concealed CD-ROM drive

excludedevs="dev1 dev2"
    Exclude those devices from retoration process (no LVM action done such as pvcreate, and no partitioning. Those devices are removed from /tmp/mountlist.txt and /tmp/i-want-my-lvm)

forcemods="mod1 mod2"
    Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically

net
    Activate network support

nodmraid
    Do not try to start dmraid support

nohw
    Do not call the mindi-rsthw script which try to restore also your BIOSes configuration (ProLiant only for now)

nolvm
    Do not try to start LVM support

nomd
    Do not try to start mdadm support

nompath
    Do not try to start multipath support

nopart
    Do not try to partition drives at restore time

noresize
    Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space

obdr
    Call mondorestore with -o and the tape device

obdrmods="mod1 mod2"
    Remove these modules in order to be able to reset the tape dvice using it and place it in sequential mode. A default list of modules is aloready embedded so this should only be used if the list is unsufficient. Please report that usage to dev team.

pre=/path/to/script
    Execute a pre-configuration script before calling mondorestore. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located in the initrd. Eg: pre=/tmp/isodir/my-pre.sh. Note that the script should be executable.

post=/path/to/script
    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. Eg: post=/tmp/isodir/my-post.sh. Note that the script should be executable.

quiet
    Do not print information msgs in order to allow for easier tracking of error messages at boot time

serial=/dev/ttySx
    When using a serial console, associate it to the tty device so it works correctly at restore time. By default set up /dev/ttyS0 as serial console. Pass the value of your serial console if different. You may also want to pass console=ttySx so your kernel can deal with it. serial takes precedence over console for mindi.

textonly
    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

usb=/dev/xxx
    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
