What is Mephisto Backup?This program can do simple backups and syncs over a network or locally. Mephisto Backup was made with the Java programming language. The key feature of this program is the ability to backup your system to an image and copy it to a Linux Live DVD for future restoration. The user can then take that cd and move his or her system to any PC.

Why the re-imaging section of the program may not work for you1. Your using a different filesystem than ext2, btrfs, ext3, ext4, or xfs. 2. Your not using Arch Linux, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu or basically an operating system that uses something else besides mkinitcpio, mkinitrd, or mkinitramfs to generate a kernel initrd image.
About the Live CDThe Live CD is a modified Gentoo minimal install disc. When the disc is finished booting, the Mephisto Backup restore process will begin automatically. The MephistoBackup Restore Live CD does not automatically load Mephisto Backup. Simply type : cd /mnt/cdrom (Where this is the location of the mounted disc) ./mephisto. or ./mephistogui Restore disc downloads: http://code.google.com/p/mephistobackup/wiki/mephistocd
