/etc/disklabels vs /var/backups/disklabel.*

[Jan Stary]

Hi all,

I wonder what /etc/disklabels is for - man hier(7) says

         disklabels/     Backup disklabels (see disklabel(8))

but actual backups of disklabels seem to be placed
into /var/backups/disklabel.* (by security(8)). So
what is /etc/disklabels really for?

        Thanks

                Jan
