11 <h1>About Mondo Rescue</h1>
12 <div class="h2-1">
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. It supports BIOS and UEFI boot modes. Mondo runs on all major
30 Linux distributions (Fedora, RHEL, OpenSUSE, SLES, Mageia, Debian, Ubuntu, 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.

185 Mondo Rescue was first created because there was nothing like
186 it available at that time under a free license. Nowadays,
187 Mondo Rescue is not the only good, free disaster recovery solution for
188 Linux. You may wish to try <A HREF="http://relax-and-recover.org/"><B>ReaR</B></A>.
