The main config is always used but you can define in the per pc config
file some parameters that overload (I don't if you say this way in
english, I'm french :/) the same parameters of the main config.pl file.
For exemple, with your per pc config, all the main variables will be
used except these ones which will be read from the per pc configuration
file:
$Conf{TarShareName}
$Conf{XferMethod}
$Conf{TarClientCmd}
$Conf{TarFullArgs}
$Conf{TarFullArgs}
$Conf{CompressLevel}
$Conf{TarIncrArgs}
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}
