Fwd: Restoring from Bootable USB can't find config file/archives

Removing the attachement as it is now stored on the cloud :-)

I created a boot USB and copied the Mondo ISO files to it using a modified
version of this procedure:

http://trac.mondorescue.org/wiki/FAQ#Q42Howtotransformamondo
CDDVDintoamondoUSBdevice


My customized procedure is:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M count=10

fdisk /dev/sdc << EOF
n
p
1


t
b
a
1
w
EOF

mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdc1

mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb

mount /mnt/backups/mondo-tools-server/Tools-Server_          /mnt/iso -o
loop

rsync --progress -a /mnt/iso /mnt/usb    (cp -v -a /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb)

dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdc
syslinux -s /dev/sdc1

umount /mnt/iso

umount /mnt/usb


The USB boots up fine and the archive files are where they should be under
the archives directory on the USB.

The script that I used to create the Mondo iso is:

DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M` # e.g 201307210400
SERVER="Tools-Server"
FILENAME=$SERVER"_"$DATE".iso";
BACKUPDIR="/mnt/backups/mondo-tools-server/";
EXCLUDEFILES="'|/var/log|/opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/defaultdb/db|/mnt|'"
MAXSIZE="7375m"

/usr/sbin/mondoarchive -G -O -i -p $FILENAME -s $MAXSIZE -d $BACKUPDIR -I /
-E "$EXCLUDEFILES" -T /tmp -9


I rebooted the PC and issued command

compare usb=/dev/sdc


The program boots up to the "I am thinking" prompt then said it couldn't
find the archives do you want to pick another location?

I said yes and selected harddrive and then it asked me for the ISO prepend
name which didn't make any sense so I copied the logs off and rebooted.

You can find the logs here: https://sabercathost.com/Os0/logs-zip

Any words of wisdom as I am going an endless loop and I am sure it is a
simple fix :-~
