Interaction of client permissions

I found that “Allow client-side changing of settings” must be set if “Allow clients to configure components to backup” is being set and it must be set to enable backup of components other than the limited default setting on the server.

Looking at the forums I see someone else found this also.

Am I wrong thinking that it is wise to backup the other components skipped with the default=1 server setting?

Can we get better control of the component backup without giving the client unwanted control of other settings?
