Tracking Machine Builds
It is important to know what software and configuration is shipped on each machine. After a machine configuration is changed, it should be backed up to a file and saved in the repository for future reference. The folders on the user partition should be saved in the repository’s user partition folder, contained in a folder with their serial number or other standard identifier.
The most important folders are Recipe and Configuration TODO: I don’t think these are up to date. What about PermBackup?. Before a machine ships, and before a machine is updated or worked on, these folders MUST be backed up to ensure that the machine can be restored to its running state without reconfiguration.
