No, No!

Leave the config.pl file in conf where it is. This specifies the defaults 
for the various parameters. In the pc/hostname directories put config.pl 
files with contents which override the defaults in the main config.pl 
files in conf.


Here is an example of a pc/config.pl file

#    Full backup every week
$Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;

#    Keep 4 backups @ 1 week,   Weeks:   0 1 2 3
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4];

#    Incremental backup daily and keep 6
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 6;

#    Don't use partial backups
$Conf{PartialAgeMax} = -1;

#   Don't do backups between 3am and Midnight
#   Servers should be backed up overnight
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt}      = 0;
$Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3;
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
    {
        hourBegin =>  3.0,
        hourEnd   => 24.0,
        weekDays  => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
    },
];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/etc', '/home', '/root', '/usr/local'];

$Conf{CompressLevel} = 0;

Hope this helps,
