We recommend a full image backup so that in the eventuality of a user having problems or they just don't like the new image they could return to a known working setup.
If you do use a settings backup from a earlier image such as 2.4 it will mess up the core of the image, which for ViX 3.0 has been totally rewritten. for example it will break the FTP protocol which requires a full flash.
To report skin bugs create a new thread with the details.
