Hi !!!
I have a suse 10 installed with apache and mailserver with several users.

The situation is if the machine crashes I have to reinstall and configure
it.

I tryied to make a backup with mondo but there are some problems creating
the iso and when I teste the iso it doesn't boot completly.

Is there any other way that I can make a boot CD ou DVD that can boot and
reinstall everthing my itself.


Make an image with imagemaking software. With backups you still need an
installed sytem to put things back.
Or do two things. One is an image and the other is a backup of the
content.

Train to set things back. Restore is the goal, backup is only a mean to
get to that goal.
