        If you make backups of your Images folder (just copy paste, or compress a copy and then move it) and your database, then you have everything you really need.

          even with a migration, to say… a different server with a different name?

            As long as the server IP does not change(clients are all tied to a server ip when you install the FOG Client) all you need is the /images directory, and your images table from mysql.

            You may want to export your hosts list from time to time just to have a backup as it makes things easier if anything bad happens(just re-import the list and everything is back).
