I think he wants to be able to run 4.4 on Centos6 now so he in-place yum to sipx 4.6 as a simple process. I DO think that the process needs to be tested (4.4 restoring to 4.6 base install) and make sure all functions and parameters come over. Several times (way back machine in use here) I found you could not restore older versions of sipx to newer builds, and it almost always had to do with DB schema stuff. I will certainly be testing to make sure all of the proper parameters come over.
I for one would rather start over with a fresh ISO/OS and not try to be the red headed step child and try to run 4.4 on centos 6, since it's so out of the ordinary. That's my opinion anyway. It should be relatively easy to restore on 4.6 and see if everything starts, that all files, etc. are there. Realize there may be an issue with CDR records since they don't currently backup and restore so you may want to consider a different machine for 4.4 and mothball it if you need to keep cdr available, or look into a separate backup/restore for that db/table.
