Creating a Job to save and Backup your Configuration on your ProxySG's can save a lot of time in the case of appliance failure or other related issues which will require the full replacement or factory resetting of the ProxySG configuration. This is also very good to have if you would like to duplicate your configuration from one ProxySG to another, if you are adding appliances to a cluster which need to contain the same polices.
