Config File Backup
If you want to edit a file, and just you want to take a backup of original one before editing the file there is an easy command.
For example if you want to edit the file zzz.conf file below is the command:
# cp /etc/X11/zzz.conf{,-BACKUP}
This will create a file called zzz.conf-BACKUP in the same directory as the original.
So if disaster strikes you simply restore the backup with:
# cp /etc/X11/zzz.conf-BACKUP /etc/X11/xorg.conf
