    Mondoarchive is a freely available linux backup program. In addition to
    backing up specified directories, it makes a boot disk as well.

    I can make a usable CD-RW boot disk using mindi (the boot disk portion
    of mondoarchive), but cannot boot from the backup CD-RW disk set I make
    with mondoarchive. A mondoarchive backup disk set written to CD-R's
    works just fine.
