Hi Georg,
Backup network informations (if there are some) and backup-media-type are stored in mondo-restore.cfg, it depends of the kind of backup.
As you created local images I guess that no network informations were added to your mondo-restore.cfg backup file, moreover, in that file your backup-media-type
should not be set to “nfs”.
The mondo-restore.cfg file is a file in the backup, in tmp directory of images/all.tar.gz
I think that, by modifying your mondo-restore.cfg by hand, you should be able to restore from a NFS share.
An example of what could be missing or different :
nfs-client-ipaddr 192.168.2.123
nfs-client-netmask 255.255.255.0
nfs-client-broadcast 192.168.2.255
nfs-client-defgw
nfs-server-mount 192.168.5.6:/home/mondorescue/backup
nfs-server-path /
nfs-dev eth3
nfs-server-ipaddr 192.168.5.6
backup-media-type nfs
Rgds.

Subject: [Mondo-devel] Backup to an ISO on a local filesystem and restore via NFS
Hi,
Is it possible to backup a system to an ISO file on a local filesystem and restore it via NFS in a straightforward way?
I created local images with mondo-2.2.9.4-1.sles11.x86_64 and transferred them to a central NFS share. After booting I got to the GUI, chose "Net Mount" but the restore crashed. After searching
for a while I found that the NFS share was mounted under /mondo.tmp.JyicXX/netfsdir
whereas the images were searched for in //mondo.tmp.JyicXX/isodir/.
After updating to mondo-2.2.9.7-1.sles11.x86_64 I generated new local images and transferred them also to the central NFS Share. Booting again from the small ISO I got to the GUI, chose "Net Mount"
and the NFS-Share was imported. When starting the recovery process I was asked for the first ISO image. So it seems that mondo is not able to mount it automatically when a NFS restore is requested.
After mounting the correct ISO manually to /mnt/cdrom (which is not desired) the restore process itself had no problems but when doing the cleanup mondorestore tried to remove everything in the
directory where the NFS-Share was mounted. Fortunately the NFS share was exported read-only and according to the mondorestore.log the NFS mount was also done read-only but the console was flooded with many scaring messages ...
Unfortunately it is not possible for me to use a local NFS share via loopback interface to create the ISO images on as it is prohibited by our policy
So is there any other way to create ISO images with mondo on local filesystems and in case of recovery use them from a NFS share that does not include manually mounting the needed ISO images?
Kind regards,
Georg
