Yes, then go to the server2 page and change any details that differ.
If the shares are the same and you don't set ClientNameAlias, you
might not need to change anything for additions made this way. Note
that you want to be sure your source settings are correct before
making a lot of copies, though. Subsequent changes of settings that
override the global config will have to be repeated for each copy.
You probably want the global settings to match your most common target
type because you can make changes there and affect all targets that
don't override it, but the template/copy approach is good where you
have several of a different type (like windows/linux).
