Re: Mondo Restore

Thanks Bruno, do you think that the first version mentioned would be the one used to make the archive, and the second the one I reinstalled after reinstalling my os, in an attempt to run restore in “live”mode ? Do the mondorestore versions of the restore media and running version need to be the same? Is there a wAy to look at the files on the boot CD to determine what version the archive was created as? Do you know the last version of RHEL that a “live” recover was tested; maybe I need to upgrade my OS version? Thanks for your help, sorry for questions, 

Best regards,
Brad Burt
