Backing Up Properties Files
The Content Installer creates backups of all properties files before merging existing files on the web server with new properties files. Several backups of the properties files are made at different times. The table below gives the names of the different file backups, a brief description, and how they can be restored.
The backup versions of the properties files appear in the same directories as the original files.
