1 MondoRescue: a GPL Disaster Recovery Solution Bruno Cornec Project Lead Abstract MondoRescue is a GPL Disaster Recovery solution. It has existed since 2000, and has now matured to a global solution used both to restore systems in case of emergency as well as to deploy dozens of systems having the same or nearly the same configuration. The main Web site is at where all the detailed information is contained. This paper will explain the various functions of the solution: backup image creation, (various filesystems supported, compression schemas, media, distributions. Mindi, the mini-distro creating the environment needed for restoration), restore options, (fully automated, interactive, compare mode, online. ), some extended usages for which the presenter made patches (LVM v2 support, PXE support.

), creation of an image deployment server suited for PXE, restoration of mondo images, cloning techniques with mondo, and so on. It will also explain the new orientation given to the project since September 2005 with the new maintainership of B. Cornec and the various aspects considered for 3.0.x. At last, we will also cover some important points around project management (SVN, ML, trac. 1 First encounter with MondoRescue My initial discovery of the tool was back in 2000, when I was in charge of a project in HP for which I had to find a way to provide an easy installation mechanism of a preload of Linux on our servers in EMEA. More over, the idea was to do that with media that the customer would get in the same box as the server.

At that time, only 2 tools existed for this purpose: mkcdrec and MondoRescue. As I more easily understood the way to use MondoRescue for my project, combined with the fact that the project already covered 90% of my needs, and that the developer (Hugo Rabson) was cooperative and inclined to integrate patches, I then chose it as my tool for this project, and have used it ever since.

Having done a patch to automate the recovery steps to make it easy to both customers and plant people in charge of the installation, I was quickly integrated in the development team of the project (even if not very active). I tried to make an Itanium (ia64) port, but didn t follow up with it at that time, as our HP team wasn t working on the Itanium program anymore. In the other hand, the pre-install Linux project was really successful and gave me a good opportunity to jump on the project. The goal of MondoRescue is thus to provide a GPL Disaster Recodery (DR) or Cloning technology which is distribution-neutral (it runs on Mandriva, Fedora, Open- SuSE, RHEL, CentOS, SLES, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware), filesystem-neutral (it supports ext2/3, reiserfs, XFS, JFS, LVM v1 and v2, and software & hardware RAID), media-neutral (CD-R/RW, DVD+-R/RW, tape, network, ISO files), kernel-neutral (provides a failsafe one, or use the one you run or another one, as long as MondoRescue requirements are fulfilled).
