Configuration History Files

When you save and exit the System Conf iguration Utility, the utility keeps a
history of the configuration. The utility maintains three versions of the system
configuration files, including the current and two previous c onfigurations in
both binary (.SCI) and text (.CHL) file formats.
The .SCI files can be used to restore a previous configurat ion using the
System Configuration menu and Restore System Configuration from a
.SCI File submenu.
The .CHL files are text-based files displaying information that is stored
in the corresponding .SCI file.
