The new website for mondo rescue is:
http://mondorescue.org

Also, the more similar the hardware, the better.  Don't expect to back
up a Pentium and restore to an Athlon, for example.  But certainly
different disk sizes and partition layouts can be done easily.  It helps
if you have your system set up to check for new hardware on bootup, so
for example, have kudzu set up to run on RedHat or Fedora systems.
