Updater doesn't touch pspad.ini
It downloads ZIP
unpack it
go through all unpacked files and backups them
copy all u packed files into pspad folder 

It doesnt touch files outside pspad folder and doesn't touch files what are not
contained in ZIP

Configuration backup is made by PSPad, when you confirm any update (visit web or
start downloader)
