Hi guys,

Oliver,

==================
Also, with W7 and 2k8, you need to remove some of the "links" like 
documents & settings and so on. Not at work atm, but I can send you my 
exclude list. 
==================

What do you mean by remove some of the links? Sorry am a bit confused there.

Would be great if you could send it please.

==================
As for the syntax, personnally, had to actually tweak it a bit, for 2k3 
and 2k8 servers: 
* always use backward slashes 
* don't double the first backward slashes 
* Through the web interface, if you want to specify a folder, you need 
to add \* at the end, if you want to look for a folder at every specific 
level, it would be something like: *\foldername\* 
* If you manually edit the config file, you need to escape de backward 
slashes, so double them. 
==================

I've edited my config file and added "\Boot\*" on the web ui and ticked the 
override box, but still no luck, it tried to back up \Boot\ and fails

--------------------------------

Les Mikesell,

==================
Also, when adding hosts in the web interface you can specify new=old 
to copy an existing host's configuration so once you get a system of 
each type working you can use it as a template when adding more and 
then edit in any specific differences in the new instances. 
==================

That's the newhost=copyhost option for the hostname right?

For example, I want server2 to take settings from server 1, so in the web ui I 
go to Edit hosts, add new, and in the host column I add;

server2=server1

Is that correct?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,
