{{Warning box|The e-smith-backup panel is designed to be used as a full disaster recovery backup & restore method for your sme server, and as such relies on the correct directories being included in the backup. Do not delete any of the default directories from 40go-into as these are all essential for a successful full Restore of your backup to a clean install of the sme server operating system (you will need to reinstall add on apps or contribs). You can safely add directories eg /opt, as indicated, but that should typically be the extent of changes made.}}
