I used Mondo 3 or 4 (or more) months back. Everything backed up fine. One dark and lousy day I lost a harddrive. Tried to restore with Mondo but to no avail. I ended up searching list files on the CD's for the files I needed, uncompressing them (not straightforward at all), and copying back to the new harddrive.
The moral of the story, make DAMN sure your backup can be restored!!!!!
