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?
Calling MINDI to create boot+data disks
Your boot loader is GRUB and it boots from /dev/sda
/var/tmp/mondo-temp/tmp.mondo.9418/tmp.mondo.8981
The log gets this far then nothing happens:
# tail /var/log/mondo-archive.log
You are using Mindi-Linux v2.2.0-r881 to make boot+data disks
