The steps I send covers my needs in that I do not use a secondary storage area, user files area is covered in my previous posting, and installed plug-ins are backed up by normal computer backups. But you are right, for a full clone you should also copy your complete BASE installation and the plug-ins. However, depending on which plug-ins you run you may need to install other external packages and may get binary compatibility issues (everything is not in Java).
My needs are covered with the dumps in my previous posting since I use the BASE snapshot to recover from really stupid code that I sometimes write and wreck my BASE database. For me it is enough to restore base userfiles and the database. Plug-ins and base.config (and similar) are usually not harmed by poor SQL statements.
