I successfully used mondo-1.74.tgz and mindi-0.94_cvs_20030924.tgz from 
the mondoarchive site last week to backup and restore a rather 
bare-bones woody system _without_ LVM to ISO images. Make sure you have 
the following packages installed:

gawk afio bzip2 lzop mkisofs buffer cdrecord dosfstools

Also install reiserfsprogs if using ReiserFS. Installing hdparm may also 
get rid of a non-critical error message in mindi.

Cheers,
Tobias
