Didn't miss it exactly.  I've never looked, because I'm not so much
interested in having a backup version of this file (or any file).

However, I _am_ interested in moving the mostly static information
(group parameters, server and agent settings), residing in this file,
into a separate file that isn't as large, and isn't saved as often.
