Probably not. did a CD (or more) get created?

Unless you specify otherwise, mondo puts temp files on the suitable
filesystem with the biggest amount of free space. 'man mondoarchive'
details this. Look for the '-S' switch.

There are no previous diffs. A diff backup backups everything changed since
the last full backup. Previous diffs are ignored. A complete backup of
your system is contained in the last full backup and the last diff backup
after the full backup. Other diffs are not needed.

Contains the small mondoarchive.iso bootable CD image which you should burn
to CD if you're using any medium other than CD/DVD for your backup. It also
contains the bootable floppy images used in creation of mondoarchive.iso and
which can be used instead of a bootable CD. This folder is created and used
by mindi rather than mondo.
