I just recently used Mondo to move my brother's linux/windows system
onto a new hdd. The backup and restore of the linux partitions worked
flawlessly. The windows partition got borked, but since it was ntfs, I
am assuming that is why. In this particular case, windows is only used
for games, so no data was lost.
I've also used Mondo to backup and restore a pure linux system at work,
and had no problems with it.
The work computer was runnning RedHat 7.x, and my brother's is running
gentoo. I've not tried it with debian.
