Hello,
If you look into your C drive for example, you should have a folder named:
"Documents and Settings", but that is just actually a link to "Users", it
is the same for my documents, my videos and some others. So, no need to
back them up twice (takes time for nothing).
I attached the main list I use, though might not be exhaustive.
When you edit the configuration file, you need to reload the configuration
file, the documentation provides 3 ways to do this. The web interface, the
kill -HUP backup pc way and just stopping / restarting the service.
Otherwise the configuration file is only reloaded every 24 hours.
Regards,
