WSS (SharePoint) v3 stsadm.exe -o export, replacement for smigrate

We all know that WSS v2 lacked the ability to migrate sites and include the user security in that migration. You could use smigrate to move a site but you would lose all of the users and the user security during the process. Well in SharePoint version 3 Microsoft has developed this ability. It is now possible to backup a WSS site using stsadm and restore it, with all security in tact, to another WSS instance or as I found out even to a WSS site underneath MOSS 2007. This is how you perform the export of your site and include the security.

stsadm.exe -o export -url
-filename
-overwrite
-includeusersecurity
-haltonwarning
-haltonfatalerror
-versions <1-4>
1 - Last major version for files and list items
2 - The current version, either the last major or the last minor
3 - Last major and last minor version for files and list items
4 - All versions for files and list items
-cabsize
-quiet

So an example of this would be:

stsadm.exe -o export -url http://officepoint.blogspot.com -filename C:\backups\officepoint.blogspot.com.bak -overwrite -includeusersecurity -haltonfatalerror -versions 2 -quiet

This will export the WSS located at http://officepoint.blogspot.com to a file named officepoint.blogspot.com.bak in the backups folder on my C: drive. It will overwrite any backup files already there. It will include all of the user security of the site. It will stop the export if it hits a fatal error, it will perform a quiet export and export the current version of the site.

It takes a little longer to run because of all the extra web parts and lists created with WSS v3, but it'd definitely nice to have this ability. The only question I can think of is, if I copy the stsadm executable to a WSS v2 site, will it export v2 sites with their security or is this functionality only limited to version 3?
