Re: [Mondo-devel] I am LOST and need help badly

[wayne <way...@co...>]

Klaus also mentioned the MAN pages... DUH
I never thought to look there and I KNOW better.

This is what I am currently running
sudo mondoarchive -O -i -d '/BACKUP' -E '/BACKUP' -p 'mndo' -S '/tmp' -T 
'tmp' -s 4480 -N

If I read the MAN right, this should:

BACKUP -O
to a ISO  -i
to the directory /BACKUP
exclude /BACKUP
use the prefix mndo for the iso names
use /tmp as scratch
use /tmp as storage for temporary files
create iso's that are 4480 MB in size
compress a  little more than normal
exclude  all mounted network drives



I can't wait to see what happens....   Feel like a kid with his hand in 
the cookie jar  :-)
