One would, of course, want to make an archival copy just in
case. On most systems, you shouldn't have trouble fitting all of
/etc (as a tarball if necessary) onto a floppy. On most firewalls,
/etc is all you should need to back up.
Whether you can trust a floppy to not spoil is a matter for
another diiscussion....
