New backup delivered with 3.6.1 EE backs up all repository data including the versions. So when using this backup you do not need to run extra database backup. The only thing that is not backed up is indexes as those will be generated after the restore by JackRabbit itself. Another thing that is not backed up is the web application itself (e.g. templates, etc.) Magnolia-tools module delivered with EE, has a script that can be used to restore the data. Restore has to be ran while magnolia is not running and it will create new repository from backuped data. There is no partial restore at the moment. One positive sideefect is that after running backup/restore your repository will be a bit smaller as the empty spaces in the database get compacted (the magnitude of this effect depends on underlying database).
