How about mondo? This is OK if you're restoring to the same machine you backed up from. It can write CDR's or DVD's or tapes or NFS. http://www.mondorescue.org Lets just say it was "interesting" trying to restore on a different CPU because I didn't backup with the failsafe option. Hmm that reminds me.. need to return the backups to the client. Anyway, to restore theoretically just boot the first CDR and follow the prompts. For me I had to manually partition & do the restore (going from Raid system to single HDD of different size) just to test the backups. -- ---<GRiP>--- Electronic Hobbyist, Former Arcadia BBS nut, Occasional nudist, Linux Guru, SLUG/AUUG/Linux Australia member, Sydney Flashmobber, BMX rider, Walker, Raver & rave music lover, Big kid that refuses to grow up.
