I think the smartest thing is to allow host templates which are effectively hosts, except they cannot be archived or restored. Then when you create a host, you can specify a template. Any customisations in that template are inherited, but overrides in the host take precedence. Regards, Tyler O

[BackupPC-users] "host groups/grouping" in web interface - possible?

2006-08-22 Thread Tomasz Chmielewski
I make backup of about 50 hosts, and the list still grows. Right now, they're all displayed on one page, which makes things a bit messy. Is it possible to make "host grouping", where groups of hosts could be logically grouped (i.e., group_A for host_1, host_2, and group_B for host_3 and host_4)?
