Cheryl,

I am an HP employee and I poll ITRC users once in a while for information on how they really use the system and issues they may encounter, so that I can investigate better ways to do things.
This month I posted this one about the difficulty to locate a device from its hw path information:

I always get useful answers from the ITRC forum gurus. It is a quick and efficient way for me to validate some areas of changes that can improve customer experience. So it is of great value to me.

Sameer pointed out some key places to look that eventually got me to a solution of the problem. He got me focused in the right direction.

I wanted some confirmation before I did something and in this case if was very good that I did post it, since I would have not realized that fbackup doesn't have the / before the files in its tar format. Maybe you have to see the post.
