| 41 | Ideally, restore your system to a spare hard drive to test the
|
|---|
| 42 | integrity and reliability of your disks. To do that, either edit your
|
|---|
| 43 | mountlist to make the devices point to your spare hard drive, or swap
|
|---|
| 44 | your hard drive cables between boots.</P>
|
|---|
| 45 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 46 | At a bare minimum, compare your CD against your file system before

| 47 | you decide whether to trust them.</P>

|

|
|---|
| 134 | to prep/format your drives, then you should boot into Interactive
|
|---|
| 135 | Mode. The interactive mode will provide an 'Editing mountlist screen'
|
|---|
| 136 | that allows you to setup a different disk geometry.</P>
|
|---|
| 137 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 138 | To move up and down between partitions in the 'Editing mountlist
|
|---|
| 139 | screen', use the Up and Down arrows. To move between the main window
|
|---|
| 140 | and the buttons at the bottom, use the Left and Right cursor keys.
|
|---|
| 141 | TAB shifts focus from one screen item to the other in a haphazard
|
|---|
| 142 | fashion, owing to the complexities of the Newt library.</P>
|
|---|
| 143 | <P ALIGN=LEFT>
|
|---|
| 144 | If you want to restore selectively, just press <enter> and

| 231 | One of the nice things about Mondo is that it lets you wipe your

| 237 | If the user excluded a particular partition from backup and

| 335 | So long as your /etc/raidtab file is sane, Mondo can automatically

| 346 | It is now possible to restore to a live filesystem using Mondo. In
|
|---|
| 347 | other words, you do not have to boot your PC from your CD/floppy in
|
|---|
| 348 | order to restore files. Mondo was originally designed for disaster
|
|---|
| 349 | recovery - situations in which you cannot boot your PC. If you can
|
|---|
| 350 | boot your PC, it is not really a disaster, is it? :) Well, if you
|
|---|
| 351 | have wiped out your priceless collection of "MTV's Bjork

| 352 | Unplugged" MP3's, perhaps it is. Anyway, just type this as root</P>
