[Sisuite-users] Gold Client Image Question

[Mark Wass]

Hi All I'm looking at implementing SystemImager at my workplace and have a few questions. Q1. I will using Debian with mysql server running on the server, so there will be databases and tables being updated regularly every minute. My question is if you have taken an image of the golden client and the database has changed since the first initial image was taken will this wipe over the top of the existing database files if you do a getimage on the golden client? Q2. What happens to all the log files in /var/log on the client when you do a getimage on a client, do they get copied over also? Q3. Can you exclude certain folders/files from being included in the image that is created from the golden client? I guess what I'm really trying to understand is how does SystemImager handle servers that have files continuously changing e.g. A Database server, when it comes to restoring an image from the SystemImager server. -- Mark Wass
