|

| 39 | Mondo Rescue was created in December 1999 as a utility to clone
|
|---|
| 40 | Linux/Windows installations. Norton Ghost would not do the job, and
|
|---|
| 41 | my boss wanted to jump on the Linux bandwagon. So, I wrote a few
|
|---|
| 42 | scripts and shoehorned them into the latest Linux-Mandrake CD. Since
|
|---|
| 43 | that time, Mondo grew into a disaster recovery suite for Linux and
|
|---|
| 44 | Windows. Mondo forced me to learn about the kernel, its initrd
|
|---|
| 45 | initial ramdisk, modules, library dependencies, disk partitioning,
|
|---|
| 46 | and the myriad differences between the Top 10 Linux distributions.</P>
|
|---|
| 47 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
|
|---|
| 48 | The first formal release was made on February 18th, 2000. Mondo is
|
|---|
| 49 | currently one of the top five Linux backup/restore programs. Mondo
|
|---|
| 50 | has been compared favorably to ArcServe, Arkeia and BRU. Although
|
|---|
| 51 | Mondo lacks the more advanced, enterprise-level features of ArcServe
|
|---|
| 52 | and Arkeia, for workstations and small- to medium-size servers it is
|
|---|
| 53 | ideal because it is small, fast, efficient, stable, comes with source
|
|---|
| 54 | code, and is being actively developed and supported.</P>
