The configuration doesn't include eveything (though it does include the shares). For instance it doesn't include the maintenance schedule.
There's a response from Netgear in the forums somewhere on what it does include, but I'm not seeing it right now.
I suggest you also capture the configuration info (maybe with screen shots, or just create a document as you go), and not depend on the config backup file.
BTW, I just received a 526X. I'm still kicking the tires on it, but it's a very nice machine. Great build quality and plenty of horsepower. I'm still looking for a good way to benchmark it's performance (so far it just keeps up with my gigabit connection). If I can find an affordable 10 gbe PC NIC, I'll probably get one.
