backup and restore assistant

Question

HI 
 I have Xgs450 V20 that is running under HA. I posted long time about the ability to transfer Trunkvlans from one physical port to a lag physical port. But since i was on an older version I had to do it manually. However the project has been delayed and now am on V20. I just want to confirm what ill do. Ill do a new fresh backup of the firewall and restore it on the same firewall, once i initiate restoration it will ask me to map the ports ill choose the current physical vtrunk to be mapped to the new lag ports i created. Then it should do the job. Is this the right way? Any concerns i have to think of? Would the restore cause any loss of configuration? 
 Is it better to be done manual migration? 
 
 Thank you!

The assistant is only available on XGS Hardware. Make sure you have the XGS Hardware (XG450 will be going EOL soon). 
 You need to have V20.0 MR2 or newer. 
 But: You cannot migrate a physical Link to a LAG Link. We can only move Ports (physical) and not move configs from phyiscal to logical. A Import/Export would be still the better approach.
