However, I’m having trouble to handle installing bootloader and creating initramfs for C7 system. Does anyone know a good document source that details those procedure? I am using mondorescue (mondoarchive, mondorestore) for years with success: http://www.mondorescue.org/ Allows bare metal recovery. I have tested and it works fine in CentOS 5,6,7. In CentOS 7, after restore, I have had some issues, but I managed to resolve them. (Details in mailing list archives.) Cheers, Nick
