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!

 I've backed up two systems to a nfs partition but I haven't tried to
 restore yet.  I really should test out the restore, I need to dig up
 another hard drive to try it out.

i have made weekly backups for about a month now, and have done a
compare after the backup.  i just installed the package.  it is fairly
time consuming, but very well thought out.
