How does this system handle stuff like bookmarks, contacts, gconf
settings and that kind of stuff?

What I'm looking for in a backup solution is a way to export/import data
from and to different systems.

Migrating gconf settings from breezy to dapper f.ex. would let me see
changes in system defaults so that I can minimize my personal
customizations (reducing strange bugs by keeping close to the herd is my
rationale)

I also want applications neutral data such as contacts or bookmarks to
be stored in a way so that I can import it in any application, not just
the one it came from.

Is this something to expect from a backup solution?
