Again: this only protect your *exisiting* config. I know that. I do
that.

It is *worthless* when you add players (as is the case in this thread)
since restoring it will send you into an endless loop. It is also
worthless for upgrades since there is absolutely no forward
compatibility guarantee.

I hope one day this basic truth registers with the SBS stalwarts that
backing up an obscure system file is totally sufficient...
