restore view config from backup

I am in the process of testing restore scenarios in my lab, but something does not seem to be working correctly.

I manually run the backup using vdmexport > c:\file.ldf

Then I make some config changes in the global setting for example

Then I stop the CS service

I run vdmimport -f c:\file.ldf -d -p <password>

Seems to work

then I go in and start CS service backup

Look at my settings and they are all the same as they were after I did the backup.

I thought vdmexport backuped the view config.  is that not the case?  If so then what do I need to run to backup the actually config?
