Configuration - Snapshot

When you create a new snapshot, the console will try and collect information about all files, directories, groups, icons and Registry values on the hard disks of the device. A typical device contains approximately 10,000 files and 800 directories, which will result in a snapshot file of a few MBs and an equally large Snapshot Text Archive file. A snapshot like this is usually a waste of space as most software installations are limited to creating new directories and modifying the contents of the Windows directory. A new installation will very rarely place files in an unrelated program directory, it is therefore unnecessary to include these unrelated directories and files in the snapshot.
