Just as an FYI, it is possible to use perl code within config files so
that you can use a single config file yet still customize
configurations by pc (or groups of pc's) without having to duplicate
changes across multiple relatively similar config files each time you
change a parameter.

For example, I have a number of windows machines and one linux server.
For the windows machines, I use a single config file in
/etc/BackupPC/pc and then create links to it for each of my windows
machines.

I then use perl conditional statements to make some configurations
unique by pc (or group of pc's).

The trick is that $ARGV[0] is the name of the config file (or link)
called and thus can be used to determine the machine.
Personally, I find this trick very helpful...
