+=== Creating Backtraces ===
+
+== General ==
+
+Backtraces can be very useful to trouble-shoot issues like segmentation faults. To create a useful backtrace, you need gdb (the GNU Debugger) installed and an application (and possibly libraries) with debugging symbols built in. The following will explain how to do this.
+
+== gdb ==
+
+gdb should be part of your distribution just use your favourite way to install the package, e.g.
+
+{{{
+apt-get gdb
+}}}
+
+for Debian and friends (such as Ubuntu) or
+
+{{{
+yum gdb
+}}}
+
+for Fedora/RedHat/Mandriva
+
+
+== mondoarchive/mondorescue with debugging symbols ==
+
+To get mondoarchive and mondorescue with debugging symbols built in, you need to build from the source.
+
+Get the latest stable mondo source package from ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/src/, e.g. mondo-2.0.9.tar.gz, unpack:
+
+{{{
+tar xvzf mondo-2.0.9.tar.gz
+}}}
+
+enter into the new directory and build using make:
+
+{{{
+cd mondo-2.0.9
+make
+}}}
+
+You will end up with binary in the following locations which are non-stripped, i.e. they contain debugging symbols:
+{{{
+file
+}}}
+
+and
+
+{{{
+file
+}}}
+
+Make backups of the original mondoarchive and mondorestore binaries and copy they newly created over the original ones.
