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?
