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 processes associated with the Backup Manager are restarted. If some critical installation details happen to be missing, you will be offered to repeat the installation when attempting to start Backup Manager.
