Need to add backup to USB Disk

Would like to add more explanation regarding "reconfigure your server". I tested this and the option does not bring you to the "configure server" screens as it might imply but rather it only invokes the "Activating configuration settings" routine followed by a reboot. Newer users may not be familiar with the signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot routines just yet. More clarification is needed as to what a "reconfigure server" actually is, does, and when it is needed.

I suggest you make a proposition here so we can review it and when satisfied add it to the manual. Thanks in advance. — Cactus (talk | contribs)  08:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

New users can be clueless as to what the first sentence "When installation is complete and if you set server console mode to "auto", the opening screen of the SME Server server console will appear:" is referring to. Since the "auto login" screen does not come up automatically during an install (see the end of Chap 5). It would be better to describe how one gets to the server console screen such as:

When installing a new server or wanting to reconfigure an existing one, login as "admin" using the root password and the opening screen of the SME Server server console will appear: --Uniqsys 19:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

This has been there for some time already and was made a tip box to make it stand out more clear a few months ago. — Cactus (talk | contribs)  08:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
