I have not been able to get the packages in stable to
work -- they WILL create the backup, but on the restore will
not restore the partition information correctly.  The Mondo
mail list requires usage of up-to-date software -- the
stable version of Mondo is around 1.5 yrs old.

In working with the unstable packages -- everything will
backup great, but the boot cd's will not boot to run the
restore programs.  In correspondence with the Mondo list,
easier compatibility with Debian is on the to-do list.  In
searching many mail list archives, I have found notes on 'it
worked for me', but no such luck for info that would help
get it rolling.

Thanks!
Christopher Davis

Hello all!

I've been switching from Red Hat to Debian the last 6 months
and have become very partial to Mondo Rescue --
mondorescue.org for backups.  This and Debian do not seem to
like each other too much
What types of software do you use to run backups on Debian
servers to create iso bootable images?
or...Even better -- any one know how to tweak Debian and
Mondo?
Thanks!

What exactly do you mean "do not seem to like each other too much"?

Whilst I haven't tried these there are packages for this in stable and 
unstable, so one would image an "apt-get install mondo" would do the trick.
