I don't have anything coming in mind. MondoRescue has been working on non-systemd systems for years, and I haven't done anything to destro that of course, but tetsts are less frequent these days due to the abuse of systemd adoption everywhere :-(

>does mondo prefer swap file or swap partiton?

Both should work fine. Swap paritions are heavily tested. Swap files may just be excluded (the dir in hich they are) to avoid backing up useless content.

Of course, let us now if you find anything unusual.
