[TYPO3-english] Must I do a backup of the Temp Files from RSA-Auth?

[Jörg Klein]

Hi guys,

I did an upgrade to TYPO3 4.3 and also installed saltedpasswords with 
rsaauth.

When you install rsaauth, the extension tells you that you have to create a 
folder for temporary data, which is located outside the website root and 
which has its permissions set to 700.

I have two questions about that folder:
1. Since it is obviously needed, it should also be included in a backup of 
the installation, right?
2. Why is putting it inside the website root insecure? It would make backing 
it up and restoring it easier...

Greetings

Jörg
