The basic concept behind base jobs is that you define one machine (or
the base OS install image on that machine) as a reference install for a
class of similar machines, and do a full backup of *it*, but then for
the other machines in the class, you back up only user data plus any
base system files that are different from those on the reference machine.

Once I have all of my Windows boxes on the same version of Windows again
(right now, half are XP Pro and half are 2K Pro), I'm planning to set up
a base job for them.
