UPDATE: Currently NOT compatible with trixbox 2.2x
i am doing a rework of mondo backup scripts that someone else released a while back, it didnt work well for me at the time, so I have done some updates to the script and now it seems to be working. i think the community should have this.
mondoarchive is a whole disk backup solution that builds cd or dvd sized iso files. if your drive ever crashes simply burn and boot, instant restore.
the cron script will allow you to send the isos to a windows share, usb drive, or ftp site.
A wiki guide is now here: http://www.trixbox.org/wiki/whole-disk-backups
Modification: if anyone desires to code up a management gui for this, that would be nice, i am open to any contributions/modifications to the script, and will be keeping to the original GNU General Public License.
Support: I do NOT provide any support for this what-so-ever, support is fully the responsibility of the community, at the same time, if I can do anything for anyone (meaning have the time and knowledge), I will do it. At the moment, I aim to have support originate from this post. Also refer to the docs online www.mondorescue.org
lastly this is USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, and is currently considered beta.
this has been tested on my lab boxes: trixbox 2.4 and 2.6.
run the following commands as root:
--------------------------------------------------------
cd ~
wget http://www.astusers.org/install-mondo.tgz
tar -xzvf install-mondo.tgz
chmod +x install-mondo.sh
./install-mondo.sh
--------------------------------------------------------
reboot once the install completes, then you will need to edit /etc/cron.weekly/mondobackup.cron and turn on one of the various backup methods, instructions are in the cron script itself.
to test run /etc/cron.weekly/./mondobackup.cron
you should see some iso files under /backup and anywhere else you configured the script to send them.
