Directory Handling steps

This group of operational rule steps provides the necessary functions for handling the directories on the managed devices in the system. They are used amongst others for the monitoring and prohibiting of applications.

Backup Directory

This step creates a backup of an existing directory and all its content including all subdirectories in another directory. It may also be used to copy/duplicate a directory and all its contents at another location.
