Or start using rcs to maintain revision control on your configuration
files.  The easiest way to start using it is to create an "RCS"
directory in the /etc/ and /etc/<whatever> directories.  Check in your
configuration files with the ci -u <configuration file>.  Check out the
file for modification by co -l <configuration file>.  You can go back to
a certain version by co -l -r <version>.  

Just don't short circuit the versioning by changing the mode of a
configuration file or by doing a :w! in vi or its equivalent in your
editor.
