Snapshot script: https://github.com/grctest/grcnode/blob/master/BackEnd/Nodes/snapshot.sh
Created a thread on reddit where I shared my recently created snapshots - several users experienced issues using the snapshot on windows. I've used this snapshot on linux successfully.
It was taken from linux nodes, I'll look into the differences between the official & grcnode snapshots to see if i'm missing files..

It would appear that the different file/folder settings have been applied - I'll look into changing this ASAP!

Identical.. perhaps the windows client handles file/folder permissions differently?
