Make CD-ROM recovery (mkCDrec) makes a bootable (El-Torito) disaster
recovery image, including backups of the GNU/Linux system to the CD-ROM (or
CD-RW) if space permits, or to a multi-volume CD-ROM set. Backups can also
be stored on another local disk, NFS/CIFS disk or (remote) tape.
There are a few reasons to make mkCDrec PXE (network booting) aware:
- Faster recovery possible over the network ? no hassle with CDs or tapes
- Cloning to other (almost) identical systems become a piece of cake
- Added value for mkCDrec (new feature)
- Building central repository of disaster recovery images of your computer
park
We will guide you through all the steps necessary to make mkCDrec PXE aware.
No modifications to mkCDrec are required! Run mkCDrec in combination with a
NFS share and run one additional script deliverd with mkCDrec (prepPXE.sh).
