One nice system-backup program is mondo-rescue. It provides a complete system backup. It can build a bootable rescue CD (actually: ISO images of such a CD) which automates the recovery process even for multiple partitions. The target can be cd images, tape, remote nfs partition, local files, or whatever. http://www.mondorescue.org/ It should work very well for a system backup. The data backup should probably be done using tar or amanda or whatever. > I saw a few programs out there but > they required X windows and from what I read it is suggested that X > windows not be installed on an Asterisk box. If it requires X it is probably not designed for recovery. Naturally all tools I've mentioned here are free. -- Tzafrir Cohen | New signature for new address and | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | new homepage | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | Space reserved for other protocols | friend _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
