Project Release Information

2006-02-12 22:12
This release has been tested on SuSE 10.x and Mandriva 2006 distributions. BusyBox has been updated to 1.1.0. Several bugfixes for LVM2 and uDev were applied.
2005-11-23 00:45
This release has a lot of minor bugfixes, and introduces the mkcdrec wrapper script with an updated man page.
2005-09-12 02:12
Support for the Fedora Core 4 distribution has been added, and the SPARC/Linux code has been completely updated. This release uses the new BusyBox 1.01 code, and many critical bugs were fixed.
2005-05-29 17:31
mkCDrec now uses isolinux by default to boot from
CD-ROM instead of using syslinux bootfloppy
emulation. LVM2 and mdadm (for Software RAID) is
now fully supported. Perl scripts are now accepted
by mkCDrec, so the ADD_PERL variable should be set
to true in Config.sh.
2005-03-28 15:16
Some minor bugs were fixed. The bootloader
detection code has been rewritten. Two new scripts
were added to the contributions directory:
tsm-restore.sh and dp-restore.sh for using mkCDrec
in combination with external backups stored on a
Tivoli Storage Manager system or Data Protector
server. A lot of restore functions were moved out
of the scripts and are now in the common libraries
to improve code maintenance.

Project Description

mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable
(El Torito) disaster recovery image, including
backups of the Linux system to one or more
CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the
backups can be stored on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk,
or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system
intrusion, the system can be booted from the
CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as
it was. It also features disk cloning, which
allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the
destination disk does not have to be of the same
size, as it calculates the partition layout
itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS,
FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are
supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.
