Actually, Dan, sorry for my remark.

What you have to do is revisit what you are saving and put in exclude.dirs
for all directories that contain software that can be rebuilt from a common
desktop image (hard drive replacment).  Have your users save their documents
in specific folders and only back them up.  Then they just have to customize
their desktop configure their node name in the dsm.opt and restore the stuff
that is backed up.

This is the trade-off.

The other approach is the backupset that is a CD sent to them and
incremental restore from that point forward.
