What are the files someone should backup when using PlanetPress Suite?

Details

The most complete way of backuping stuff (and the least redundant one) is to backup the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Suite 6

This will automatically include:

• All installed fonts
• All installed PPD's
• The current PPWatch/PPServer configuration
• The Virtual Drive
• The custom spell-check dictionaries
• Current logs and currently backed-up data files
• Currently activated printer licenses

So in case of a major system crash, the end-user only needs to reinstall PPSuite (and reactivate it) and copy this folder (along with all its children) over to the next machine.

NOTE: the only important things that are not included in this folder are the PlanetPress Documents themselves (*.pp6). These must be copied manually from whatever location they are stored in. Obviously, if end-users make a habit of saving their documents under the folder mentioned above, then they'll be able to back-up everything from a single location.
