Dave:
To be honest, I really dunno.  We do a server-prompted archive of every
registered node twice a year (not surprisingly, the next one is in a
couple of weeks!;) and I've always just made separate schedules.

A pain the behind, most definitely, but I couldn't find any way in the
docs to do it more efficiently.

Generally, I put all of the nodes w/ common filesystems (our core servers,
for example, all have /, /usr, /usr/local, /home, /var and /tmp
filespaces, so they can all be run from a single schedule) together, and
just make custom schedules for the rest.

It would certainly be great if objects=* worked, thus causing an archive
of all filespaces in each node, but I don't think it does...

If there is a better way to do it, I'd love to hear about it!

Brian
