Why not have a scan for obsolete or bad parameter usage, if found, then copy the current config to a special backup file and then automatically edit the current config with comment lines and comment parameters such as follows: Before: PARAM1=xxxx PARAM2=yyyy PARAM3=zzzz After: PARAM1=xxxx #PARM2 has been deprecated in version 0.x.x # - please see URL here for further information #PARAM2=yyyy PARAM3=zzzz Now you have a documented and updated configuration file with references to check out if you need further information. Perhaps with the above, you don't need a special backup file, but it would make sense to create a dated one though with code like this: cp -p $OLD_CONFIG_FILE $OLD_CONFIG_FILE.`date +%Y%m%d`.a NB: the '-p' option for cp so that the file/date time of the original file doesn't change. The trailing '.a' being used to denote first version for this date. Then process the orginal file with the comments.
