XR1000 Back up settings

To save time, when I have to perform my weekly factory reset of this router, I decided to backup my settings, I click on "Back Up" and get this notification. Should I be concerned about keeping this file?

Yes, it's always good to have a backup config file. Saves time if a factory reset is needed.

It's absolutely fine, it can only be used on the router and won't harm your PC
