Good topic! I would be really interested in experience from FreeIPA users. I
can only provide information from FreeIPA development team member point of view.

Our thoughts on topic of Backup and restore:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/Backup_and_Restore

Original design of backup and restore scripts:
http://www.freeipa.org/page/V3/Backup_and_Restore

As you can read in the first document, we are not yet convinced that
backup&restore scripts is the right thing to do + we also do not have enough
information from the field. If these scripts is what admin wants, if yes - do
they work for them?

If you check open Backup and Restore tickest, there are really not many of them:
