Backing up the system using Mondo-rescue. Help requested.

[Ernst...@sbcglobal.net]

Hey, How is it going?

Have you used and know about Mondorescue? http://www.mondorescue.org/

I am being diverse in soliciting help.

Have you seen the following errors under RHEL6 with encrypted drives?

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdd'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.\
\
^^^^ This one may well be a switch issue from what I have read.

AND

LocalHost-lv_root doesn't contain a valid partition table

That one I have not found any info on..

Lets see I have the Biostar TA 990 FXE MotherBoard, twin 1.5tb drives in Raid1 and the AMD 8150 with 16gb ram.

I'm a novice who just installed Mondorescue and I am currently awaiting access to file a Ticket but I will try and find the answer first.

So if you have insight please share..

Didn't know RedHat uses GPT, thought that was a dos partition table.
Haven't seen GPT partition table since I tried FreeBSD.

As a newbie I'd learn fsarchiver for the operating system, and kbackup
or file-roller for the user stuff (non-root folders). fsarchiver has
a static binary to put in user/bin to run as root. Peazip has a portable
version for user stuff available on their website. Don't need
dependencies or wait for a repo version in either case.

Peazip folder needs to be extracted and a small script written to run
so you don't need to enter that folder all the time to run it.

Mondo is kinda old and may have trouble running on the newer kernels
especially if the partition tables aren't dos. Check them and you
should see dos as partition table type.
