I dont recall the exact problem unfortunatly. I believe it may have been mindi or kernel related thought.

Thanks Matt,
As usual you have excellent suggestions.
Mondo looks like it will be well suited for disaster recovery. I like tht is shouldl allow restoring from the baremetal and that you can change the disk geometry.
Can you tell me what it was that you fought with that made you switch?

I've actually done this a few times, there are several tools available to you depending on your exact needs. Look into Mondoarchive http://www.mondorescue.org, partimage http://www.partimage.org, and clonesys http://www.trickytools.com/php/clonesys.php
I personally used partimage, but it took a bit of fighting to get it to deal with soft-raid and LVM, but I got it done. Mondo used to work well for me, but I fought with it for a week and got no where. I of course found clonesys after the fact, so I cant offer an opinion on it.
