Hi,

It would be great if the BackupPC Admin interface gave the ability to 
create a template and then when you create a new host, simply apply that 
template.

Lets say you have 50+ pc's to backup, 20 Vista (heaven forbid! ;} )and 
30 XP. lets say we are using rsyncd to backup and we want just the user 
profile directories. Ofcourse in XP thats c:\Documents and Settings, in 
Vista its C:\Users. The Excludes and Includes would also be different 
especially with Vista's junction points.

Now wouldn't it be great to create an XP template and a Vista template 
via the CGI. Then when you add a host you could tick "apply a template" 
and choose appropriately. Saves you a bit of time.

Taking it a step further......when you select a template, before it 
applies it prompts you with a list of those changes in the template, 
giving you the ability to override or exclude some or all of the 
template settings.

Not sure how hard that would be to implement.

Ofcourse you could do it on command line, but if it was in the cgi 
editior it would be fantastic!

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Les
