mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable
(El Torito) disaster recovery image, including
backups of the Linux system to one or more
CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the
backups can be stored on another disk, NFS/CIFS disk,
or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system
intrusion, the system can be booted from the
CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as
it was. It also features disk cloning, which
allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the
destination disk does not have to be of the same
size, as it calculates the partition layout
itself). Currently, ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS,
FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems are
supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a bootable CD-ROM on tape.

Changes:
Default booting of the initial ramdisk happens via the ramfs file system. Support has been added for FedoraCore 7, and BusyBox has been updated to 1.7.2. All #!/bin/sh were replaced by #!/bin/bash so that scripts continue to work under newer Ubuntu versions.
