on the second point, yes, you can override the backup method in the host
based config files. i use tar, rsync, and smb, depending on the host.
as a more general question, what can be overridden and what cannot, in the
machine based config files? are there any restrictions?
specifically, can $Conf{EMailUserDestDomain} be overridden in the machine
based config files?
thanks.
