      I would like a feature that would automatically dump a current copy of the config file as and when you change it to an ftp or smb share so that you always have a current backup and a history of changes. If you nuke your install you can just chose the point at which to restore too.

      Will look into doing this my self as it cant be that hard  :-\

        You can always find them at:
        /cf/conf/backup

        Create a cron job to copy them out or rsync them.

          You can also use sftp and schedule it to backup the files that way.
