If you try a different rom (shipped, custom, whatever), then you will need to re-run the base rom you backed up, and then run a complete SPB restore. Hope that makes sense. The short answer is YES, you can do a complete restore in one or two steps. I do it all the time with nary a hiccup.
I think I follow you here. For example, I'm running a heavily customized version of intxROM right now that I'm pretty happy with. If I want to back it up, I would use SPB Backup to create a full backup, then go flash Juicy 8 or something and play with that. If I decide I hate Juicy 8, I would re-flash intxROM to get the "base image" then restore my backup on top of that.

Where I might run into problems would be if I tried to restore my intxROM backup over a Juicy flash, is that correct?
