Description: System to backup your filesystem to CDs. Mondo uses afio as
the backup engine. Mondo creates ISO images of your data to make a full
backup of your system. It also makes the CDs to autorun and gives you
several options to restore your system. In the event of catastrophic data
loss, you may restore some or all of your system from those CDs, even if
your hard drives are now blank.
Even if you don't want to burn the CD's, it can create the ISO's. Very
handy for creating backup CD's when your CD burner is in another machine.
It does need a lot of memory - 64MB+ I think. You should also check the
maintainers website for the latest versions of Mondo and Mindi.
HTH,
Andrew
