It's not a problem as long as I can put it on the stick. The
generation of the codeintel directory takes a long time but this is
only done once for every release. The big problem is the fact that the
host--%computername changes and the backup program wants to transfer
everything beneath (including codeintel) again to the backup drive.

If you change the location of codeintel to Local Settings then you
also need a %komodo_localuserdatadir environment variable.
