Hello,
MondoRescue was successfully tested with SME 7 Pre4 and SME 7 RC1. You can use this script to install mondo on your SME server.
http://www.gerst.no-ip.com/SME7/mondoinstall.sh
Mondo is a very good backup tool, that back up your running system like V2i Power Protector.
Maybe mondo could be added to the section howto or contribs.
Best regards,
Daniel

Thanks for the work.
I'm running it on a virgin install of 7.0RC1 - and it successfully creates the iso image.
But - when I try to boot and nuke - it hangs on the lvm partition stuff.
Any ideas ??
-
Hello kmccarn,
I test it with a softraid 1, I will verify it on a SME 7 Pre4 and RC1 with single harddisk. Did you create custom bootimages with mindi or let mondo create standard mindi images?
Best regards,
Daniel
-
Hello back at ya !
I just ran it - didn't create any anything special.
And - yes I neglected to mention that it was a single hd install.
I've used mondo on several SME 6 boxes as a disaster recovery system - and the only option that worked was "nuke" - this current version may provide additional functionality. (and might need some tweaking on the command line)
I'm not real comfortable with the LVM stuff yet anyway. (still getting used to ext3....)
:-D
-
Hello kmccarn,
I reinstall the SME 7RC1 with single hardisk on a Activy 300 (Celeron 366, 256MB, 1x 10GB HDD) and it works fine.
I used the GUI-version to create a backup, but there should be no matter if GUI or commando used.
The only thing that is different: another version of afio, but that should not be the problem. I could send you the compiled rpm.
Best regards,
Daniel

This great thanks.
Making an iso is as easy as:
cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.7-460.rhel4.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.7-460.rhel4.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
echo -n "Installing downloaded files..."
echo
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
mkdir /root/mondoiso
mondoarchive -OiN -E /root/mondoiso \
-E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/nai/ -d /root/mondoiso
#explanation:
#-O backup
#-i is iso
#-E exclude
#-N no network shares
#-d where isos are stored
#now burn iso in /root/monoiso to cd.
wow!
I will have to test if the iso works, but mondo is by far the greatest backup methode for me.

hi,
sme7rc2 in an vmware (one disk) does not restore.
It is not clear what the trouble is really.
It cannot format the disks right.
It tries to format:
/dev/md2 on /lvm format lvm
/dev/main/root on / format ext3
/dev/md1 on /boot format ext3
/dev/main/swap on swap swap
/dev/hda2 on raid format raid
/devhda1 on raid format raid.
But it seems it cannot make the lvm stuff
it sais for instance "mkraid not found"
and "raidstop not found" and then
"formatting md1 as ext3, failed".
pity.
When it starts up making the images it says this:
[root@sme7rc2 mondorescue]# mkdir /root/mondoiso
[root@sme7rc2 mondorescue]# mondoarchive -OiN -E /root/mondoiso \
> -E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/nai/ -d /root/mondoiso
Initializing...
See /var/log/mondo-archive.log for details of backup run.
Checking sanity of your Linux distribution
Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

You have RAID partitions but no /etc/raidtab - creating one from /proc/mdstat

I had the same result using the latest Vmware Wkstn 5.x

Seeing all the posts above I would not rely on these versions of mondo at all. Chances are your backup won't work.
Is there a place we can get help or should we just conclude that it is not reliable?

Hello,
Please refer to http://www.mondorescue.org/support.shtml for mondorescue support issues. The dev will NOT monitor this firum, but IS monitorng the ML to try to solve users' issues.

This is from the Mondo Wiki:
9.8.6. >Q: I can't nuke-restore my LVM or RAID or LVM-on-RAID setup. I have to do it manually. What now?
A: You said it yourself. You have to do it manually. :) Sorry but that's about it. At least you have all the tools to do it. I assume you know how. If you don't, look at i-want-my-lvm (a script on the ramdisk) if you're using LVM. It should give you a few clues. RAID is harder but in general Mondo's RAID support is good. After you've prepped and formatted your drives, run mondorestore again but say 'no' when asked if you want Mondo to prep or format your drives.
I'll test next week and if it works - post a HOWTO

I can't find the i-want-my-lvm script. I did read that faq.
Bruno has responded to me that lvm2 (what sme7 uses) will be supported in mondo 2.08. So we will have to wait for that.
If someone can do a restore manually and can write that down that would be good in the mean time!

Would it work to run the SME setup in order to partition and prepare the hard disk, then run mondorestore again but say 'no' when asked if you want Mondo to prep or format your drives.
?
Sadly, I have no safe/easy way to test this...

I ask for assigning, for my bad English!
I have a little bit played with mondo! :hammer:
I use: sme 7.0rc3,
mondo-2.0.8-4.rhel4.i386.rpm
mindi-1.0.8-4.rhel4.i386.rpm
afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
mondo-doc-2.0.8-4.rhel4.noarch.rpm
My “sme” has one sata non removable disk!
I provided a Backup of “sme” on CD!
I have this Backup on another PC, with IDE non removable disk,
and same network cards back secured!
And it run! :-x
But, that was not simple!
a few notes: must edit /etc/mindi/deplist.txt before run mondoarchive,
there add binaries- libs- and module-files for raid and lvm!
run mondoarchive and Exclude all virtuell filesystem (proc...)
must boot new bootcd, and then on tty2-console
manually create auto-raid-partitions,
create mknods /dev/md1 /dev/md2, create md1 and md2,
format dev/md1, create lvm main on /dev/md2,
create lvm partitions in main, format partititions main-root
and main-swap, Oops activate main-root main-swap!
p.s. the file "i-want-my-lvm" is in /tmp
now you can run at tty1 manually restore!
no change fstab!
no partitions erase/create!
no format partitions!
write files back!
grub install has failed,
mount/change to directory where (sme) /boot, and type
grub
grub> root=(hd0,0)
grub> setup=(hd0)
grub> exit
Mongo has problems lvm on raid kompfortable to support!
Also many changes, “mondo/mindi & sme” can co-operate,
even with specially features:
migration/hdd change/raid (1,0,5,10) create!
Or not, you install simply sme, afterwards mongo, afterwards mongo restore, completely (untested) ;-)

I Say, no you must first edit deplist.txt (add dm-mod)!
mindi/mondo Say, no with one hd in raid, dont running raid!
But, it makes the steps on console tty2 easy! raid and lvm created and formatted!

I ask for assigning, for my bad English!
:oops: forget the imbecility which I yesterday said! :oops:

I have a little bit played more with mondo! :hammer:

This is manual Generated, mondo not correct read mdstat or so!
The important entrys are "device missing" "failed-disk 1"!
I am starting mondoarchive with
mondoarchive -OiN -E /root/images -E /proc -E /sys -E /dev/pts -E /dev/shm -E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/jukebox/files/mp3 -E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/jukebox/files/isos -d /root/images/
also not save "backupdir, virtual-kernel-dirs and my mp3 and iso data",
create isos in "/root/images/"
during the Backups report mondo errors:
/dev/md1 has no correct Partition entry ( or so similarly )
/dev/md2 has no correct Partition entry ( or so similarly )
BOOT + DATA Creation failed ( or so similarly )
But, boot run from DATA-CD!
Now you burn cd, or start vmware Guest with boot from iso!
and mindi boot from DATA-CD, you say Automatic, and
mondo erase old, create Partitions, create raid 1, create lvm, format drives, resecure your data, makes Grub-install, exit the programm!
now type exit
and tell vmware or pc not boot cd, boot hd!
now its booting SME7.0rc3! :-D
During resecuring, mondo report some errors :
Couldnt set attributes from fileset## ( or so similary )
Error repeat three times for fileset## see logfile... (or so similar )
and after resecure you become error disk not correct shutdown (or so similar ) :-D
-
still another error after back safety device:
mdadm -D /dev/md1
mdadm -D /dev/md2
results raid1 with one disk, one disk in raid are online!
at the old system:
mdadm -D /dev/md1
mdadm -D /dev/md2
results raid1 with two disk, one disk in raid are online, one disk in raid are removed!
But it's running! 8-)

Hello,
With the new version of mondorescue (mondo 2.0.9-1 and mindi 1.0.9-1) everything works fine (fixed the lvm2 problems). This should work for single disk and softraid, cause single disk is used as a softraid 1 with one active hdd.
New quick and dirty script available:
http://www.gerst.no-ip.com/SME7/mondo/install_mondo.sh
If someone could verify this and report failure or success, this would be nice.
Best regards,
Daniel

Daniel,
Just tried this out on a fresh VM install. Restored to another fresh VM install and while there where a few error messages, it seems to have worked correctly.
Nice job.

Hi Jeff,
Which kind of error message did you get? Do you test it with Softraid 1 or single disk?
Best regards,
Daniel
-
Hi Daniel,
Sorry, but I didn't record the errors as the scrolled on the gui screen. My test environment was a VM with 1 hd so SME installed as a soft array.
I will test on another vm with multiple drives and report back.

I have tested with VMWare and a RAID1 (two drives), that doesn't work. I also see error scrolling over the screen.
I tried both using the GUI and the command line.

I tested sme7 on vmware with the latets mondo and mindi and that worked. With 1 disk.
Lets test some more please!

Have tested mondo but there is a bug when resizibg to a smaller disk.
However when restoring to the same disk it seems to work.
We need more people to test with real hardware to be safe!
I did this:

cd mondorescue

I did exactly this but it generates some stuff with md0 and md1 (I have only one ATA disk... No RAID..) that makes impossible to restore as, of course, I try to restore on an single ATA disk..
This is what I get when I type that :
[root@webcube mondoiso]# mondoarchive -OiNF -E /root/mondoiso -E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/setup -d /root/mondoiso
Initializing...
See /var/log/mondo-archive.log for details of backup run.

Disque /dev/md1 ne contient pas une table de partition valide (means in french : /dev/md1 has no valid partition table)
Disque /dev/md2 ne contient pas une table de partition valide (idem for /dev/md2)
Done.
The backups generates an iso, but the iso cannot recreate the md1 and md2 and fails..
Any idea?

Are you using sme7, and not beta version?

-
No, I am using no beta..
Don't ask me why.. I reattempted to generate an iso, and it worked this time.. :oops:
There are some erros in restoring, but I presume it's due to the omitting of some ibays in the set.. I'll check the log and see.
Thanks anyway.

hello,
sme7 and 1 ata hard drive
i did

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
mondoarchive
i choose hard drive
700Mo size
save all
It seems to work find creating isos. I would like to know if there is special command line to type after restoring ( as it was with sme6)?
thks for your help

Has someone created a interface to go into server-manager?
I think this would be good. I would create one myself but don't know how to put code together.
Maybe even an install script or rpm that installs all required contribs to do this.

Hi All!!!! Happy New Year 2007
The link to the quick and dirty install is dead (mondo 2.0.9-1 and mindi 1.0.9-1)

Does anyone have a copy of the script available for download??

Hi,
I have tried the latest mondo (2.2.1) and could not restore into a vmware.
Below what I did.
Someone backuped an sme7 recently and restored correctly?
I have entered a bug report to mondo.

Ok, look's like not really working easily with sata, scsi... or else...
I downloaded slax, and knoppix liveCd. I think that the best is to boot on these liveCD, copy all files of the desired partition, burn it on DVD, then restore in the same way.
I stop with backupMondoRescue, tired...

I usually just use backup and restore into a new install. Works best for me.

After having read through this thread I'm a bit puzzeled about the "Tested Successful" headline
Can someone explain :?:

Not working for me, too much data for the save process... with not cutting it in little part... or excludind some directory...
The solution I will implement will be:
1/ booting with a live CD and a backup hdd (no mount of partitions)
2/
save
dd if=/dev/hda | gzip | dd of=/path_to/save.gz
restore
gzip -dc /path_to/saave.gz | dd of=/dev/hda
To clone the two disks (hda is main, hdb is the backup)
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=512 count=1 (for the mbr)

I found better !!!!

does anyone reports a good restore with mondo on sme7?
-
I was able to restore from a mondo image last fall using SME 7.0, identical computers and IDE hard drives.
-
thks mmccarn,
Can you explain plz the rpm's you have installed? and how?
I have sme7.1.3 and 1 ide drive
I would like to backup all my system to iso files (and restore using cds in case)
Is it the way you have used Mondo?
David
-
I used the procedure given by hancees: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=31628.0.
I did this on 7.0; I don't know if it still works with 7.1.3...
It is probable that there are newer versions of some of these rpms; you may have to figure out the latest version numbers and download those...
Here's a link to the root of the mondo ftp store: ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/; you need to figure out if you want rhel4 or rhel5, then download mindi, mondo and afio from the appropriate folder...
It's likely that there's a 'yum' command that will do it for you automatically, but I don't know it...
-
I tested sme7 on vmware with the latets mondo and mindi and that worked. With 1 disk.
Lets test some more please!
Here's what I did:
cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue
08-2006:
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
mkdir /root/mondoiso
mondoarchive -OiN -E /root/mondoiso \
-E /home/e-smith/files/ibays/nai/ -d /root/mondoiso
Pretty cool
Hans-Cees
I did some tests
my computer:
PIII 1.2ghz 512Mo 1ide drive 40Go
1/ install of a fresh sme 7.1 (noraid nolvm)
installing latest mondo
mondoarchive report fatal error cause not enought free space in the active partition
2/ install of a fresh sme 7.0 (noraid)
cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
yum localinstall *.rpm
(rpm -Uvh *.rpm does not work because of dependencies missing)
mondoarchive->hard disk-> iso ok
burning the iso
running qtparted from a live cd to delete all partitions on the sme server
boot from the cd
reporting some errors but reboot gave me my previous sme 7.0 running ok
3/ done update to sme 7.1.3
mondoarchive ok
burn
delete partitons
reboot on the cd
restore ok ( a lot of warnings)
but reboot gave me my previous sme 7.1.3 running well :D
It seems that latest versions of mondo, mindi does not seems to work on sme (in my case)
DAvid
-
I did more test
install of a fresh sme 7.1 (sme nolvm raid1)
update to sme 7.1.3
cd /root
mkdir mondorescue
cd mondorescue
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mindi-1.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/mondo-2.0.9-2.rhel4.i586.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/rhel/4/afio-2.4.7-1.i586.rpm
yum localinstall *.rpm
Ran Mondoarchive
backup done
iso burned
restoring from cd nuke option
crash after building partition
It seems that it can't re-create partitions proprely ti suite the need of the restore.
Maybe something is wrong in the deplist and we maybe need to add more things in it.
I need more people to test this, and if someone know well mondorescue (a lot of people were usng it in sme6) I am sure that it can work.
So if you think that mondorescue is a good way to backup/restore a system please help me to work on it
Dave
