Re: Mondorescue Centos 7.4 with Uefi

Dear Bruno,


first: Thanks a lot for your fast response,



You are right, to ask for a log, but how to  create it?


For my person, the problems seems on the restoring process in the "new" machine.  And there is not log ? Or can you assist me to create and copy ?

Or do you mean  the log on the "old" mashine, by creating the backup ?


Thansk for an answere.


In my optionion,   or wishes,   mondo should be able to change the UUID, because I use the desaster recovery, if the system is damaged. (sometimes Harddisk, or sometime board, or, or)

So at recovery time, the hardware  or parts   could be replaced.

Maybe we can handel it by hand: Boot by live Disk and reconfigure fstab, but what about the bootloader ?


with regrads

Josef

Hello Josef,

Well, MondoRescue *is* able to restore ext4. Now I'd like to have more detail s(I mean log files) to understand and comment on the issue you encountered.

>It seems that  the ""OLD" ( other PC)   UUID where restored in /etc/fstab.
>I tried to fix it by hand ( emergency boot from tzhe installation disk), with no success.

Yes MondoRescue restores the UUIDs from the previous machine (it's supposed to do Disaster Recovery, so is supposed to work on the same HW, that's why it does it that way)
These UUIds should also be used in the bootloader conf.
Again to comment on the issue I need log files.


>So my question:
>Is mondo able to restore  a backup to a new PC using Uefi Boot on Centos ? Or is it better to change to leagacy Mode ?

There is a known issue with CentOS for that version.
Fix was done during 3.3 dev.
http://trac.mondorescue.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&new=3709%40branches%2F3.3%2Fmindi%2Fmindi&old=3578%40tags%2F3.2.2%2Fmindi%2Fmindi&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=

Not easy to read, so in your 3.2.2 version line 2217 you have a ref to rhel which should extended to centos (or you can replace it in your case) the same way it's done line 2155 in the new version.
In short test if dname = "centos" and you should be fine.

Bruno.
