All the above is true. To prevent data loss, you could either save the 
config
using the AGENTPP-CONFIG-MIB's agentppCfgStorageTable by
SNMP SET operations. Those operations could be issued by the manager
that made changes.

Another approach would be to run a timer inside the agent or always issue
a save_all after a certain timeout when the config has been changed.

Best regards,
