I have debian running on a "headless" system. I'd like to back the
entire system up. Its difficult with a bootable disk without a monitor
(so Clonezilla etc are out). I've tried mondoarchive but it usually
bails out before it completes the backup.
And what does mondoarchive.log say?
mondoarchive gets up to here then nothing happens (for several hours):
---evalcall---E---
---evalcall---1--- Dividing filelist into sets
---evalcall---2--- TASK: [********************] 97% done; 0:01 to go

I am running mondoarchive with the following options:
mondoarchive -OiF -k /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 -d /var/tmp/mondoarchive -S
/var/tmp/mondo-scratch -T /var/tmp/mondo-temp -E "/home /mnt /root/packages
/var/cache/apt/archives"
I get the same result when I run it without the -k option
