History Files
When you save and exit the System Configuration Utility, the utility retains a
history of the configuration. The utility maintains three versions of the system
configuration files, including the current and two previous configurations in
both binary (.SCI) and text (.CHL) file formats. The following table describes
the system configuration files.
■
The .SCI files can be used to restore a previous configuration 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.
