backup-thinkabout.page system-wide settings

[John Kim]

Hello doc team,

I've been reviewing some docs lately, and this paragraph here really
bothered me. The subject has the file name.

*ORIGINAL:*
System-wide settings
Settings for important parts of the system aren't stored in your Home
folder. There are a number of locations that they could be stored, but
most are stored in the /etc folder. In general, you won't need to back
up these files on a home computer. If you are running a server, however,
/you should back up the files for the services that it is running/.

*SUGGESTED* (My own):
System-wide settings
Settings for important parts of the system are not stored in your Home
folder. However, they are most commonly found in the /etc folder. On a
home computer, you generally won't need to back up these files. On a
server, however, you should back up the files for the major services
that run in the system.

Hopefully I didn't alter the original meaning of the settings, but it
seems very hard to revise it. See the italics I've done for the
original; that line bothered me the most. What is "that it is running?"
Can someone else come up with a better paraphrase for the sentence, or
even the paragraph?

Thanks very much!
