Make CD-ROM Recovery 0.7.8 - A disaster recovery CD-ROM maker.

Make CD-ROM Recovery 0.7.8 - A disaster recovery CD-ROM maker.

About:
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 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. mkCdrec is also able to restore disks in
Software RAID and LVM mode.

Changes:
This release supports cdrecord's new ATAPI mechanism. Important fixes
include better detection of the bootloader and Linux kernel (especially
for SuSE). There is a minor fix in cloning software RAID disks, and some
tweaks for supporting Linux 2.6 kernels and module-init-tools.

This program looks great to back up my pC using Linux!

But I also have Windows PC's. Does anyone know of a similar FREE program
for Windows?

XPpro has a pretty good backup utility. The only weakness is
that it cannot span across multiple disks. So, in most
cases, you'd likely want to use a DVD burner to do the job
