disk_info.log gives you the serial numbers of the disks, so after the backup you could power down, pull the drives, and check for the serial numbers.

There are a couple of settings that will miss (but unfortunately I don't recall which ones). If you have installed apps, make sure you re-install them before you restore the config.
