i'll have to mess around with that as well. 

so i told it not to restore the mgr folder

but did restore the other two, now the name spaces are not showing? 

is there a way to see where the namespaces are saved?

so going that way all i'd need to do is rename the cloned vm.  we are virtual.

i did do a fresh install first. so i had a working test system, just once i did the restore it went to crap.
