[Contrib] MondoRescue on SME 7 (tested successful)!

I used the procedure given by hancees: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=31628.0.

I did this on 7.0; I don't know if it still works with 7.1.3...

It is probable that there are newer versions of some of these rpms; you may have to figure out the latest version numbers and download those...

Here's a link to the root of the mondo ftp store: ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/; you need to figure out if you want rhel4 or rhel5, then download mindi, mondo and afio from the appropriate folder...

It's likely that there's a 'yum' command that will do it for you automatically, but I don't know it...

I tested sme7 on vmware with the latets mondo and mindi and that worked. With 1 disk.

Lets test some more please!

Here's what I did:

cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue

08-2006:
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm


rpm -Uvh *.rpm


mkdir /root/mondoiso
mondoarchive -OiN -E /root/mondoiso   \
-E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/nai/ -d /root/mondoiso

Pretty cool

I did some tests

my computer:
PIII 1.2ghz 512Mo 1ide drive 40Go

1/ install of a fresh sme 7.1 (noraid nolvm)
installing latest mondo
mondoarchive report fatal error cause not enought free space in the active partition

2/ install of a fresh sme 7.0 (noraid)
cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
yum localinstall *.rpm
(rpm -Uvh *.rpm does not work because of dependencies missing)

mondoarchive->hard disk-> iso ok

burning the iso
running qtparted from a live cd to delete all partitions on the sme server
boot from the cd
reporting some errors but reboot gave me my previous sme 7.0 running ok

3/ done update to sme 7.1.3
mondoarchive ok
burn
delete partitons
reboot on the cd
restore ok ( a lot of warnings)
but reboot gave me my previous sme 7.1.3 running well :D

It seems that latest versions of mondo, mindi does not seems to work on sme (in my case)

I did more test

 install of a fresh sme 7.1 (sme nolvm raid1)
update to sme 7.1.3

cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
yum localinstall *.rpm

Ran Mondoarchive

backup done
iso burned

restoring from cd nuke option
crash after building partition
It seems that it can't re-create partitions proprely ti suite the need of the restore.

Maybe something is wrong in the deplist and we maybe need to add more things in it.


I need more people to test this, and if someone know well mondorescue (a lot of people were usng it in sme6) I am sure that it can work.

So if you think that mondorescue is a good way to backup/restore a system please help me to work on it
