@robertkwild said in is it ok to make new dir in /images:

OK to create /images/backup

Yes it is OK. FOG don’t care or will ever see it.

So @george1421 it’s OK to create /images/backup

Or no as my fog web ui images dir is /images

@robertkwild There is no penalty to creating additional directories in /images. Unless they are configured as image directories in the web gui FOG will not touch them. We created a /images/drives directory for our hardware specific drivers used during the imaging process. A post install script uses that directory, but FOG doesn’t touch it.
