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 -------------- 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 forcemods="mod1 mod2" Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically 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) nompath Do not try to start multipath support noresize Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space 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 ----------------- Look also at README.pxe for additional parameters linked to the PXE/NFS usage
