2020-01-10 Unavailability of ftp service
Since the upgrade of the Mondorescue server, the ftp service has been working incorrectly
In order to download MondoRescue packages, please use the http service available through http://www.mondorescue.org/ftp, while we're working on the final fix for ftp.
Also let me take that opportunity to wish you a happy new year 2020 with the new version of MondoRescue coming RSN !

2019-11-19 Update of the MondoRescue server
In order to prepare the delivery of MOndoRescue 3.3.0 later this week (more on that later !), I'll update the MondoRescue server to the latest Mageia 7 that I have tested successfully on other machines.
So the server will be unavailable starting Wednesday the 20th of november at 9:30AM CET till 11:30AM CET (that shouldn't take longer, but I need to check the various services, svn, http, ftp, trac, mail, sympa, ...)
2019-08-23 Help test Mondorescue 3.3.0 future version
So yes, the project is (as myelf) not dead !!
I've been able to work again on that long overdue 3.3.x version and be successful in a backup/restore using RHEL 7.4! So I think it's time to publish more packages available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.or/test so you can try and report your findings on the MondoRescue Mailing-List.
Hopefully it shouldn't be too long now till the final version !

2017-04-26 MondoRescue services back online
The project team is happy to announce the availability of an updated Mageia 6 server hosting the various services for the project:
Web acces is now available back as you can read always at http://www.mondorescue.org thanks to Apache.
FTP acces is now available back as well at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org thanks to vsftpd.
And a new trac instance is now available back at http://trac.mondorescue.org, with a better anti-spam version which hopfully will help maintaining the site clean.
So now that this is mostly done, expect a 3.3.1 version as the next step.

2011-10-19 New beta and numbering format for the project
I have taken new decisions on the numbering schema for MondoRescue, which correspond to a future new 3.0.0 version. The beta is alaready available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test. Please test and report your findings. And all that will be ikkustrated by a new logo, but more on that later on...
2011-06-30 Regression in mindi-busybox 1.18.3
The mindi-busybox 1.18.3 packages currently availble have a regression compared to the previous 1.7.3 version: it doesn't delete the loop device when umounting the ISO. So as 8 loop are available by default, depending on the media used it may errored more or less rapidly. If you do not suffer from the tar problem that motivated that upgrade, go back to 1.7.3 or increase the number of loop devices when loading the device.
We are working on a fix for the mindi-busybox package that will be provided as soon as possible.

2011-01-05 FTP Repository setup change
First, let me take this opportunity to wish you all a happy new year 2011, full of working backups ;-)
Due to some improvements in my project-builder.org tool, used to generate MondoRescue packages, I've changed the existing setup of our FTP repository. A new directory "architecture" is now placed under the usual distro/version directory. All metadata are being regenerated to allow you to use as smoothly as possible to new directory layout. This only concerns RPM based distributions.
Example, the new Fedora 13 layout is: fedora/13/i386 fedora/13/x86_64 instead of having all packages under fedora/13.
All src.rpm and noarch.rpm are placed under all arch subdirs. All .repo files have also been recreated at the right place, as well as .addmedia files.
Please report any problem on the MOndoRescue Mailing List.

2009-02-19 Mindi 2.0.6 is available
Why making mindi 2.0.6 when 2.0.5 was just out ? Well In our Solution Center we found an anoying corner case using Mondorescue 2.2.8 where you could move some directories on your original server to a temp place, in case of a full /tmp filesystem. So in order to avoid others to encounter the same issue, I wanted to fix that rapidly (bug #156) and publish a safer 2.0.6 from that angle. Please consider upgrading.

2009-01-19 Last beta for 2.2.8 is available
I'd like to call for your help testing this (hopefully) last beta of mondo 2.2.8+mindi 2.0.5.
Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test
Please help us improving the tool by testing this nearly final release. I'm especially interested by the feedback of those of you who recently reported issues with disk renumbering at restore time, which should be solved.
.Without new major issue, the final 2.2.8 will be publish at the end of the week.

- Protect recursive remove of tempdir with test on the look and feel of that dir to avoid removing blindly useful dir :-( (Bruno Cornec)
- -H should be usable with tapes, especially OBDR ones (Bruno Cornec)
- Replace a 32kB blocksize fix with the internal blaock size, and adds a call to setblk to try to fix #255, which shouldn't break anything (Bruno Cornec)
- Fix for #261 nsspool and nssvol support (sprobst)
- Fix #260 restoring when cancel in non disaster mode was a regression on 2.2.5 (Bruno Cornec)
2008-10-03 Last beta version of Mondorescue 2.2.7 available
I'd like to announce the availability of a latest beta version of mondorescue 2.2.7.
Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test
Our plan with Andree is to stabilize that version over the week-end so that we could align for Lenny the versions. So you should have an official 2.2.7 early next week, as well as new Debian packages.
Please report any problem you may find with this ASAP. Thanks for your continuous support of our project !
Bruno.

Just a quick announcement to mention that mindi 2.0.1 is now available.
It fixes a blocking bug when using tapes. Also for tape users, do not use the -G option of mondoarchive if you want to be able to restore your big files. Should be fixed in 2.2.6. Cf: http://trac.mondorescue.org/ticket/244

Debian/Ubuntu packages are on their way
2008-03-25 MondoRescue 2.2.5 is now available
I'm happy to announce the availability of a newest version of mondorescue 2.2.5.
It's been a long time since tha last release, and the list of modifications below will show that it has been a hopefully fruitful time. I want to underline that mindi has now reached version 2.0.0. Which means it may not be completely stable yet. However mondo 2.2.5 needs it, so this is the way to go. Successful tests have been done on RHEL and Ubuntu, so it shouldn't be completely wrong ;-). THhe major news I want to underline are :
- No more physical floppy support. Kernel + initrd/ramfs do not deal weel with it anyway nowadays. For those who still wants it, 2.2.4 is the last version providing support.
- New USB Key/Disk support. Use it, it's way quicker than floppy ;-), and even sometimes CD. Genoo integration. Thanks to Wolfram Schlich for that. Please Wolfram needs testers, so you gentoo users give it a try.
- Fedora 8 and Ubuntu 7.10 packages are now built in addition to the already 20 distros supported. Ubuntu 7.10 has been particularly tested and should really work better now, including UUID fstab.
- A new build process (again !) based on a new project I'm leading (http://trac.project-builder.org) has also been put in place for this version.
- Itanium support is officially part of this version (tested on RHEL4 at the moment). Please report feedback for other distributions such as RHEL5, SLES10, Debian 4.0. Packages for RHEL4 will be made today.
- Provides improved support for Proliant server by allowing to save and restore the hardware setup of the systems (BIOS, iLO and SmartArray configurations with the help of SSSTK tools). Ideal for cloning. Also iLO are systematically supported in mindi, making it easier to restore with Virtual media.
So lots of stuff, and as usual many bugs fixed, and probably some others added. Please report on http://trac.mondorescue.org

2007-12-15 Call for Help: Please test MondoRescue 2.2.5 beta
I've made available a beta version of MondoRescue 2.2.5, which could become the final one soon, if no major bug is found in it. So it is time for your to help me, by reporting problems on the Mailing List or ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/
Lots of changes have been made, especially to mindi which hs now reached version 2.0.0. Which means it probably needs more work ;-). The version you need are mondo 2.2.5, mindi 2.0.0, mindi-busybox 1.7.3
Thanks in advance for your feedback !
2007-07-18 MondoRescue 2.2.4 is now available
I'm happy to announce the availability of a newest version of mondorescue 2.2.4. Enjoy it as usual!
For the first time, you'll have precompiled x86_64 packages for some distributions.
Branh 2.2.x is now entering a more stable state so I'll take more time developing on 3.0.X to provide a version by the end of summer time with lots of enhancements.
Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/

2007-04-19 MondoRescue 2.2.2 is now available
I'm happy to announce the availability of a newest version of mondorescue 2.2.2. Enjoy it as usual!
I'd like to underline especially some changes which impact you as Mondorescue users
- For coherency, /var/log/mondoarchive.log is the new log file name (previously was mondo-archive.log). It now includes mindi.log as well so we will just need that file for debuging :-)
- As well, /var/log/mondorestore.log is the new log file name for restoration (under /tmp during the restore process). It's now different from the previous one and is NOT appended to it anymore.
- RHEL 5, Debian 4.0 (aka Etch) and Mandriva 2007.1 have now mondo packages. The build process is now well in lace ;-)
- initramfs is now supported (for FC5/6, Debian 3.1/4.0, ... as well as UUID (I need Ubuntu users feedback)
- Lots of bug fixes (mindi will never ever erase your /home again, -G option for gzip will now work, ...)
- all other details below...
All in all should be a very stable version. The goal is now to only apply bug fixes to that branch (2.2.3 will be issued when a certain number of bugs have been corrected). Enhancements are definitely for the next main release. Now time to jump back to the future 3.x tree and break everything :-)

2007-04-01 New feature planned for next version
I'm happy to announce that the dev team has come up with a solution to the recent thread on our mailing list around support for additional editors for MondoRescue.
In order to support all our colleagues sysadmin becoming older, having finger issues, intellectual deficiencies, ... to use only vi, we decided that next MondoRescue version will integrate notepad to make their life easier.
That bold move is a strong commitment to them, in line with our previous announcement last year, as it will require the integration of wine with busybox to support them.
The dev team is really excited by this new direction and hope you will help us with numerous patches, that will of course be necessary to support that new feature in the next version now planned for Spring 2009.
2007-03-20 Poll on floppy usage in mondo/mindi

2006-08-11 Package rebuild
Hello
Due to some packaging corrections and improvements, I've redelivered new instances (-2) of the mondo 2.0.9 RPM packages. They are functionaly the same as the one delivered in the begining of the week, so no need to redowload for those already having -1.
Changes are :
- ChangeLogs are now correct for RPMS - Gentoo build is now working, and packages have been produced. Official feedback is pending. - Official packages have been released for Mandriva Cooker and will be in 2007.0 - Fedora extra proposal is also pending.
Please report bugs using (trac). It's now also accepting e-mail input. It will ease discussions around bug with distributions.
I'll be off mail till early September, and I promised my family to not work on mondo during the holiday period ;-) So you'll have to wait till then to get my feedback.

2006-08-05 New repository/Tools for Mondo Rescue
Due to some recent problems with BerliOS, I've migrated most functions from it to our own server.
So people wanting to have SVN access should now use the following URL: svn://svn.mondorescue.org/mondorescue
which contains 2 main branches: branches/stable (2.x dev) and trunk (3.x dev)
I took also that opportunity to add the trac tool to our Web site, in order to help the development process. Especially,you'll find again all bug reports removed from BerliOS at http://www.mondorescue.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/report/3
So you can also use trac for SVN browsing at http://www.mondorescue.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/browser
Don't hesitate to visit it and log all your bug/enhacement requests there to help us in our development of Mondo Rescue.

2006-06-02 Mondo 2.0.8-2 / Mindi 1.0.8-2 available
It turned out that mindi 1.0.8-1 had bugs at least on RHEL 4 and also I wanted a new function for PXE deployment (change of NIC), so here are mondo 2.0.8-2 / mindi 1.0.8-2.
Available for the 11 distributions supported as the usual place ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/
CAUTION: The ipconf parameter used for PXE deployment has changed and its syntaxt is NOT compatible with the previous one. You now need to precise first the NIC on which you will deploy. Look at mindi's README.pxe for details.
2006-05-31 Mondo 2.0.8-1 / Mindi 1.0.8-1 available
I'm happy to announce the availability of a newest version of mondo 2.0.8-1 / mindi 1.0.8-1. Enjoy it !
Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/

As usual src.rpm packages are also available in the same directory. Also a new mondo-doc package is produced for most distributions containing all the formats of mondo's documentation. Only there for completion, as mondo's package already contains the required doc files.
This version should fix most of latest bugs reported for mindi. the 2.0.x branch should now enter in a bug fix only mode. All new features will be introduced in 2.2.x on which we will now work (internationalization, memory management, configuration files, ...)
Changes are :
MONDO:
- new build process (Bruno Cornec)

(Bruno Cornec)
- Support of dm and LVM v2 (Andree Leidenfrost)

Changes are few:
MONDO:
Remove speed=1 for growisofs (better version expected for 2.0.8) Usage of Epoch for RPMs to ease update
MINDI:
analyze-my-lvm is under $MINDI_SBIN (not _LIB) Usage of Epoch for RPMs to ease update
2006-03-20 Mondo 2.0.7 / Mindi 1.0.7 are out
I'm happy to announce the availability of the latest and greatest version of mondo 2.0.7 / mindi 1.0.7. Version numbers have changed of format to be more in line with what is done generally (x.y.z)
Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org :
mandrake/10.1/mindi-1.0.7-447.101mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.1/mondo-2.0.7-447.101mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.2/mindi-1.0.7-447.102mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.2/mondo-2.0.7-447.102mdk.i386.rpm
mandriva/2006.0/mindi-1.0.7-447.20060mdk.i386.rpm
mandriva/2006.0/mondo-2.0.7-447.20060mdk.i386.rpm
src/mindi-1.0.7-r447.tgz
src/mondo-2.0.7-r447.tgz
Other distributions will follow asap (should be able to produce soon redhat 7.3, fedora core 4, and only after rhel3/4 and sles9) due to the change in the virtual machines I have to do (now using qemu + more tools to generate RPMs)
The focus on this version has been more around the new website and documentation, and a bit less on code. So some persistant bugs are still not corrected (some dvd burning issues and dm/lvm2 support mainly) and will be hopefully in 2.0.8.

2006-02-02 Mondo Rescue rsync server available
In our always increasing set of services :-) I'd like to announce the availability of an rsync mirror service for mondo-rescue. Try rsync rsync.mondorescue.org::
2006-02-01 Mondo Rescue ftp server available
Things are progressing. I've gathered all the packages that were originally on http://www.mondorescue.org and also added Mike's SuSE RPMs + all the latest packages I've produced and put them on a new ftp server accessible at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org
You may have issues to access to it yet, as I've done a DNS refresh this night and propagation could not be made everywhere now. FYI:
$ host ftp.mondorescue.org
ftp.mondorescue.org has address 213.30.161.23
The tree is:
level one distribution
level two version number
level three the packages
Feel free to send me (by private mail) packages that you have and that are not in the repository, so that I can add them.
Thanks to HP and especially the HP/Intel Solution Center to help me hosting the project. Next step will be the Web site.
2005-12-24 I think that it's time to promote our revisions to a newer version, as a proof of increased stability, and result of lots of cleanup and improvements, even if some small known bugs remain (and other could always appear). So here are mindi 1.06 / mondo 2.06 aka Christmas Release :-)
Now available at ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org :
mandrake/10.1/mindi-1.06-266.10.1mdk.i386.rpm
mandrake/10.1/mondo-2.06-266.10.1mdk.i386.rpm
rhel/3/mindi-1.06-266.rhel3.i386.rpm
rhel/3/mondo-2.06-266.rhel3.i386.rpm
rhel/4/mindi-1.06-266.rhel4.i386.rpm
rhel/4/mondo-2.06-266.rhel4.i386.rpm
mandriva/2006.0/mindi-1.06-266.2006.0mdk.i586.rpm
mandriva/2006.0/mondo-2.06-266.2006.0mdk.i586.rpm
fedora/4/mindi-1.06-266.fc4.i386.rpm
fedora/4/mondo-2.06-266.fc4.i386.rpm
redhat/73/mindi-1.06-266.rh73.i386.rpm
redhat/73/mondo-2.06-266.rh73.i386.rpm
sles/9/mindi-1.06-266.sles9.i386.rpm
sles/9/mondo-2.06-266.sles9.i386.rpm
So more distros supported and built.
I've used them for a restore of a failed server recently (PXE mode) so
they should be working correctly for most of the cases (including now
people not using RPMs)
I'll off till begining of next year, so I wish you all the best for this new year 2006 coming, and hope you'll find mondorescue as useful as usual !
