Which files are used to create the backup

The Import/Export configuration feature described here always builds a backup of two files even though you may see only one file in the save or open dialogs. So, when you import the configuration backup, the dialog lets you choose the VTP file, but it also knows to automatically import in the .cfg file with the same name. So it handles files in pairs.
