cfg file and config.bin file syncing

[softy783]

i know there are cfg templates but once a phone has been provisioned
can the cfg file be exported from the phone directly and i do not mean the config.bin file.

the issues is some hot fixes are applied via cfg and are never seen in the config .bin file

in addition by customizing a cfg file syncing data from a config.bin file or via web portal
i run into different terminology and having to guess what setting applies to what
ie "a cfg setting refereed to as "automobile" and the same setting is called
in the config.bin file "car"

thanks inadvance
