My rule is 'Never knowingly alter a config file without first creating a backup.' Some, such as smb.conf have a wealth of useful notes in the original which will be lost if you edit in, say, webmin. For those I make a copy called smb.conf.orig before I do anything with them, but use the '.bak' method after that, so that I can always re-read the comments of the original file.
