Maybe think about this: Whenever something seems to be screwed, some users would first close the app, just for fear to break more things. Some others, like me, would close the app, to look into the configs, or maybe for an update. In any case, saving the same config as backup (and it seems to me, uncodnitionally?) redundantly, everytime when closing the app, doesn't help so much in these cases. I still can't figure what achievement it does.
It would be a small improvement when claws could backup that file only on-change (when modificated in the app).
But finally, the best bet could be additional rotating.
