In the log there is a mix of mondorestore versions called (3.2.2 and 3.0.4)

>Hi Victor, I figured this out. I’m running RHEL 5.11 on x86_64, and it only works with:

>Mindi-2.1.6.1-1

So the 3.0.4 version tries to get a conf file it cannot get because the nme cganged between versions

Ok up to here, but:

So I think that there is one file with a wrong name in your backup because it was made with another version right ?

The way mondoarchive/mondorestore works is that there should be a coherency between the version used at backup time and restore time.
If you use a different mondorestore version than the mondoarchive it corresponds to, then you have risks to get such incompatibilities.

One way(not easy) would be to remaster the all.tar.gz file on the media and change the cofig file name which is on it.
If you do tar tvfz /mnt/cdrom/images/all.tar.gz you should see the name used by the conf file.
The renaming of the conf file occurred in 2014 in April so after 3.0.4, during the dev of 3.2 and before 3.2.0 was published.

Again, on the wiki there is a procuedure to manually restore your content, if the automatic boot doesn't work.

Hope this helps,
Bruno.
