Configuration Files in Webmin

Most Webmin modules work by editing configuration files on your system, like

/etc/exports for NFS shares,
/etc/passwd for users
/etc/fstab for filesystems.

Each module knows which configuration files it manages, and what commands need to be run to activate them. Not all modules actually deal with config files though - for example, the MySQL module works by executing SQL commands.

As such, it cannot participate in the configuration backup process.
