About:
mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS, FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.

[»] DVDs?
by Danathar - Mar 28th 2005 08:16:44

Does anybody know if this project supports writable DVDs? It would take A LOT of CD's to back up my linux system.

[»] nice job mkcdrec
by zentara - Jan 5th 2002 19:06:41

I tried mkcdrec and did what the docs said, just make a boot
cd, without backup as a test. It worked perfect. A bootable
cd with mc (yeah), and my own kernels and modules.
This is perfect for making those "Business card" cd's.
