How to(per-edit) Back up system.yaml

I see this as only an absolute win, as not every package from the AUR is going to play nicely with BlendOS(imo). Or sometimes we modify system.yaml and we made the error and didn't realize it(new users : aka me) until you notice roots didn't actually apply.. Anyways!! Run:

sudo cp /system.yaml /system.yaml.bak && /system.yaml

sudo cp /system.yaml /system.yaml.bak && /system.yaml

cp

cp

is the standard copy command for Linux. It will copy the existing file(pre-changes) into a .bak file of relatively the same name. If the update failed or something is off about your system.yaml, you can always go back using..

sudo nano /system.yaml.bak

sudo nano /system.yaml.bak

Once in Nano "CTRL + O" And name the file:

/system.yaml

/system.yaml

Now you're back to your previously working .yaml file. Posted just to share knowledge, if this is the wrong thread for this let me know. Not that I have too much more to share. I would create a script for the first command tbh, call it something like u-yaml.sh(or anything) and use chmod +x the file ofc & use
