Yes you can say with App.yml you can create backup copies and name them as per your needs

If your changing a particular section you can also add comments. Myself as self hosted I have my plugins organized by official, pavilion and other. I add a comment when installing a new plugin in the appropriate section.

Others though may have better ideas than mine.
