A look at a tcpdump does show that the diskdevice in the DLE is passed
to the zwc and the next piece of traffic is the estimated size of the
backup of that device. So template.txt appears to be ignored.

It seems that if it is not meant to be used it should be removed from
the community version or at least documented as such.

Thanks for the response.

Kind Regards,
