see i'm not getting into the exact requirement. but there is an utility called mondo (www.microwerks.net/~hugo/index.html) which does excellent crash recovery. you need to run it to create a set of rescue CDs and use them afterwards for restoration of a full system or its part as you may wish after a crash. there is an article in Linux Journal Oct 2003 about its case study and use. --hizibiz > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software. > Perforce is the Fast Software Configuration Management System offering > advanced branching capabilities and atomic changes on 50+ platforms. > Free Eval! http://www.perforce.com/perforce/loadprog.html > _______________________________________________ > linux-india-help mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
