Default Backup vs Upgrade_export

Hi all,

Anybody knows what the difference between the backup utility (SPLAT) and the upgrade_export? In fact, I always used the upgrade_export but till now I didn’t have the chance to test the restore procedures (the obvious advantage of distributed environment + HA for SmartCenter :) So my doubts are – does the upgrade_export utility back up the whole system (such as current policy, user DB, ip addresses, routing, hostname and so on)?

Given a standalone R61 system, will upgrade_export be enough? Or I will have to restore some configuration manually (i.e. backing it up manually too, in advance)?
