The only other one I can think of is if you restore report definitions
that contain a path for reports to be "printed" as files, and that
path doesn't exist on the new machine. Don't think this one is
serious, but don't know what happens if you then try to use the report
def without fixing the path.

Not that I know of. Maybe if you try to restore a project that's from
a newer version of TMG, but I think it will just be rejected.

That's the recommended method and should be fine.
