 > What is the master backend override option do?  It said something 
about streaming and deleting, if I have backend/frontend on one comp do 
I want it enabled or disabled?

The MBO option is when you have multiple machines sharing a common spool 
directory.  If the MBO isn't set, then you're not going to be able to 
watch content created by a backend if that backend isn't running at the 
time you make the "Watch Recording" request even though the file is 
available in the common spool area.  With MBO, the masterbackend will 
take over and spool the request if it needs to.
