Setup creates a backup of the existing files.Setup preserves custom configurations in the following way: With Exchange Server 2019 CU13 and later, Setup now backs up and restores the most common configuration files so that admins no longer need to manually restore them or reapply them. Historically, one of the challenges for Exchange server admins is that each time a Cumulative Update (CU) is installed, these files and the custom settings therein are overwritten by Setup, forcing an admin to backup/restore their settings, or reapply them after every CU install. These settings are typically configured in web.config, nfig, and other configuration files on the Exchange server. After installing Exchange Server, a common admin task is to customize settings, such as client-specific message size limits.
