By default CFEngine creates backups of files when they are modified. These backups are created by default in the same directory as the file that changed. Files in $(sys.inputdir) are affected by this as well, but the default policy update and sync settings result in these backups being culled since they do not exist at the distribution point. This change adds the capability to enable backing up files that change in $(sys.inputdir) to a single location. Note: A similar setting already exists that applies to promises.cf (normal agent runs). But it seems undesirable that the same configuration applies to the update policy, resulting in backups of all changes to policy locally on the host, hence the introduction of this new configuration option.
