Should I store repo’s config file inside the repo ?

How can I have configs saved to use across OSes or when I reinstall OS ?

  • I use multiple disks(for multiple OS) on the same PC, and

  • I want to backup data from same PC to same external disk.

I am using KopiaUI.

Also I want to keep my policy safe.

Backup config folder ? Config Symlink ? DeDup? Ghost of excluded data ? File Histroy and Change Track ? Checking backups?
