By restore, you mean actually migrate? We have a pending RFE for this:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3656

Migration of users/groups can be done via migrate-ds command. Migration of 
SUDO/HBAC/automount/... can be done by LDIF export and import (with some 
changes realms, etc.). But we have no automated way how to migrate Kerberos 
keys or certificates as the underlying keys are different.

If you want a higher version than FreeIPA 3.0.0, please use RHEL-7.x. RHEL-7.1 
has FreeIPA 4.1, which is much more cooler than 3.0.0 :-) This is what we 
recommend for new deployments anyway.
