    I would love to see a way to backup user home folder before imaging and then restore folders such as Desktop and My Documents after the image is complete. This would make it easier to image a teacher’s machine without the need to check to see if all of their crap is backed up.

      The only issue I for see with a backup like this is virus’. If you’re reimaging because of a virus this could potentially mean your imaging is useless for that machine. Just saying.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

        How about a client that you can specify folders (& sub) to backup & then pull back down once their profile is complete in 2 separate manually kicked off procedures? Viruses require a trigger to activate. Re-imaging usually relieves that trigger from occurring since those points are replaced with known good (clean) entries (registry, startup areas, secondary data paths, browsers, etc…). The chance of a “My Documents” or “Favorites” being the source of infection is usually quite small plus, it would take manual intervention to reinfect.

          I have already “half” coded this into the init.gz if anyone wants to pick it up.
