This is just a request :-).
So I mean the alternative. You select your image and click on “Duplicate image”, for example. Then a new image is simply created but the settings of the selected image are already in it. So you only have to enter the name and select on Host the new image name to Capture Task.
And I think you make even fog worse than it is :-D. Fog is one of the best tools for this task on my site.
Of course, you need to make sure that the storage space is large enough. And yes, you must manually ensure that you delete old backups. And it’s only meant to be an optional feature. But Cron Style Scheduled Tasks only makes sense to me if I also have a new image and don’t just overwrite a working one and then it’s broken. It would also be a real relief not to always have to create an image manually beforehand.
Alternatively, it would be a relief if you at least had a copy button for images and only had to enter nine image names. But all these parameters like partition, operating system, … are already taken over.
For example, I am only there every tuesday and would like to back up the machines every tuesday at 16:30. it would be nice if the capcha tasks were not simply created and the images overwritten. i would like to have a backup in case a backup goes wrong.
I only keep 3 versions and delete the old ones manually.
I use the “Scheduled Tasks”, but here it would be nice if the images would get a date from the execution time of the task. Is it possible to specify placeholders for the images so that the crontab can insert the current date? The old image should not be overwritten, because I prefer to have 3 old versions. So I go through the images at some point and then delete the images I don’t need. Hence the date. I would have thought of something like this PC_xy_{Y}{m}{d}. The image setting always remains the same. Only the name of the image changes.
I haven’t gotten around to it yet, sorry about that. unfortunately I’m only working part-time.
But without this one pc, fog is just great 
@JJ-Fullmer i have add the 4 mac’s, but hadn’t changed anything. Unfortunately, I forgot to say that because I’ve been trying for 2 days. Sorry 
! I don’t dare to try the kernels because I don’t understand where these kernels are used. Is this the kernel for the fog client, where the boot menu appears?
I have a problem with a Computer PRIME H470-PLUS, the client always wants a registration. So LAN Boot works fine, in the boot menu i have selected “quick registration”.
After booting always the same program. Red at the top “host not registered” -> “quick registration”.
I have also tested legacy and UEFI always the same, WIFI and Bluetooth is disabled in the bios.
There is a LAN Realtek onboard and a LAN card from Intel with 4 LAN ports on it.
To make LAN-Boot work, I used the onboard Realtek. Because I had problems with other pc’s that only allowed booting from onboard LAN cards.
I can see the correct Mac address in the background of the FOG and everything is also stored correctly in the host “Hardware Inventory”.
The client registration is successful, why do I only get this message on this one computer?
And what else can I do to get out of it?
Fog Version is 1.5.10
