Required settings for Backup configuration file
By default, the Backup Manager configuration file (config.ini) contains 3 sections. Each of the sections has a set of parameters required by the Backup Manager. If you remove any of these parameters, they will be automatically reset to the default values when the internal process associated with the Backup Manager is restarted. If some critical installation details happen to be missing, you will be offered to repeat the installation.
