msdb restore to standby server

Can the msdb database safely be moved to a new server by taking a backup fro
m
the source server and restoring to the target? I am aware that
sysjobs.originating_server must be updated after the restore and that
Microsoft suggests transfering the msdb by scripting jobs, dts packages, etc
