I have made custom modifications to the following files:

/etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/html/initial.html
/etc/e-smith/web/functions/backup

My question is what is the best way to preserve these changes so that
e-smith updates do not overwrite these two standard e-smith files?  I tried
reviewing the 'Customizing the system' doco but it only mentions 'extending
the user interface' not modifying existing panels/functions.

I fully realize that the initial.html and backup function script may change
by e-smith over time so of course I would always perform a fresh install to
a non-production machine, check these files for new additions but if there
is no change to these when upgrading servers at client sites I would want to
preserve the custom files already installed if possible.

I realize this is only two files (for now) and can be all easily handled
manually.  Just wondering if there is any type of template-custom mechanism
that could be employed?
