Hi All,
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Just a quick question on the subject of directories worth backing up=
(and restoring) in Mac OS. We just deployed CrashPlan and our users will st=
ill save data outside their user profile. Therefore, we had to be more inclu=
sive than exclusive on what to initially back up. Now I=E2=80=99m starting to trim=
back...
So, the question is, do you backup the /Applications directory and has anyo=
ne really restored from here with success. I imagine results vary depending =
on the app.
Let me know your thoughts and experience.
Thank You,
Joe
