As not all the folders change in this process I'm only backing up the important ones. This is the command I'm using now: mondoarchive -ONV -I ""/bin /boot /etc /lib /lib64 /root /sbin /usr /var/lib"" -p `hostname` -S $mpoint/storage/`hostname`/iso -T $mpoint/storage/`hostname`/temp -n nfs://192.168.36.31:/linux/images The problem is when I restore the system. I need to get folders like /etc replaced, to delete any new file modify/added by the update process, but instead of that, I only get the replacement of the existing files. I really don't want to backup the whole disk/partition as there is a bunch of user stuff and things that are not need to be update, I have checked the manuals and search for any information on the page, but I found nothing like this. I know this could be a good feature for mondo, whenever you restore a folder you can choose if you want to replace the folder or just restore the files inside the folders.",enhancement,closed,high,3.0.0,mondo,2.2.9.7,normal,wontfix,,
