The only catch is that you can only "safely" restore full backups on the same ROM. If you're upgrading your ROM, restoring an old-ROM backup, while might probably work, will cause problems.
That's a really good tip. Restoring system data after a reflash is almost gauranteed to cause all kinds of problems, because the registry is different.
Did it myself when I was a noob, LOL!
