If you restore on the same HW, there is no obvious reason to rebuild the initrd. This is mainly to allow people cloning to another platform to make the mandatory modifications (have the right drivers in their initrd) >> Here are links to the mondoarchive.log of the backup taken and the >> mondorestore.log of the (failed) interactive restore: >> >> http://iweb.noa.gr/files/mondoarchive-nm-20170104-01.log >> http://iweb.noa.gr/files/mondorestore-nm-20170104-01.log >> >> Needless to say, these restores won't boot either. For me the major problem is to solve that error: grub2-install: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/vda1. Check your device.map. At thatpoint, it would require to use the possibility to rebuild the inirtd, use that shell generated to have a look around, at devices, files, under /mnt/RESTORING to check what is good, and what is not. I can't give you much more guidance here, as this is really dependent on what would be found :-( The other error I dislike (but that's out of your control, just mine) is this one: DBG1: libmondo-fork.c->mr_getline_int#310: mr_getline_ found a non freed variable here INFO: SIGABRT signal received from OS INFO: Abort - probably failed assertion. I'm sleeping for a few seconds so you can read the message. DBG1: [Main] ../common/newt-specific.c->fatal_error#304: Fatal error received - 'MondoRescue is terminating in response to a signal from the OS' which generally indicates a crash of the mondorestore binary. So I'll try to have a look at that one, but I wasn't able to reproduce, so again may be hard to find due to that.
