The OS hides system files. You have to unhide it.

And even that does not help you if the configuration file you saved is
worthless. MY configuration file contains the data for *all* my boxes
meshed into one. Say I add a radio and it screws them all up. Oh I
restore the old file. Now I have to add the radio again.

A better and more granular way is required. Any way to restore settings
to an individual box from a saved configuration that is easy to navigate
and operates at some level of abstraction. Honestly, it doesn't make any
sense to (a) not want to understand and (b) claim the current system of
dealing with a *proprietary* system file that is hidden and has no
guarantee whatsoever of forward compatibility is the way to stay...
