 ===Host Configuration (server side)===
 You can edit the host configuration via the online interface to override any standard configurations set in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl. Once you have made any changes to the host's configuration via the online interface (or after the first backup), a [hostname].pl file will be generated in /etc/BackupPC/pc with any overrides you included.
