Mondo Rescue

I am having trouble getting mondo/mindi to read the tape drive after booting 
off of a mindi boot cd (mindi.iso) I am able to make and verify a backup on 
the tape drive but it will not restore from the tape drive.

I tell it to look for the backup on the tape drive and mondo throws me the 
error "cannot find config file /archives".

restoring from cd/cdrw does work.

The question is whether directly burning to multiple DVDs during the
mondoarchive run works for systems with manual DVD trays. For CDs, there
is the '-m' option for this which bombs out with the error message I
quoted.

Background is that I would like to fix
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D292782 (if possible).

Cheers

I removed the following directories:

 /root/tars/mondo-2.04_cvs_20050321/mondo
 /root/tars/mondo-2.04_cvs_20050321/mondo/restore-scripts/mondo

and with the find command I now have: 

root# find / -iname mondo

I now get:

/usr/local/share/mondo
/usr/local/share/mondo/restore-scripts/mondo

But I still have the same error:

Cannot find Mondo's homedir. I think you have >1 "mondo" directory on
your hard disk...

I'm running this on an updated gentoo system if that might provide any clues.
Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas.

Cheers,

Shawn

I would just rename the dir in root as it could be in your path as root.
