To me it makes little sense to not have a configuration backup option. I may want to use it for a number of things - to switch SC computers for one. Sure I can copy hidden folders around, but I think the user friendly thing to do is to provide a configuration backup option. My wireless router does that. The ethernet extension box does it. My Blackberry does it.
