I have debian running on a "headless" system. I'd like to back the
entire system up. Its difficult with a bootable disk without a monitor
(so Clonezilla etc are out). I've tried mondoarchive but it usually
bails out before it completes the backup.
And what does mondoarchive.log say?
mondoarchive gets up to here then nothing happens (for several hours):

Calling MINDI to create boot+data disks
Your boot loader is GRUB and it boots from /dev/sda

The log gets this far then nothing happens:
# tail /var/log/mondo-archive.log
You are using Mindi-Linux v2.2.0-r881 to make boot+data disks

I am running mondoarchive with the following options:
mondoarchive -OiF -k /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 -d /var/tmp/mondoarchive -S
/var/tmp/mondo-scratch -T /var/tmp/mondo-temp -E "/home /mnt /root/packages
/var/cache/apt/archives"
I get the same result when I run it without the -k option
I don't know what version that is: I run Mindi v2.0.7.2-r2575 and Mondo
Archive v2.2.9.3-r2622.
If I were in your situation I would download the latest from upstream:
http://mondorescue.muskokamug.org/debian/5.0/
because Debian is backleveled, do it again, and then save my
mondoarchive + mindi logs in their entirety and post the error and the
logs on the mondo forum where the response is excellent:
mondo-de...@lists.sourceforge.net
and also post what you posted here: your calling parameters, and see
what Bruno Cornec says, he is the lead developer and on top of things.
