Look in the directory /etc/rc.config.d , sort by modification date and save anything which has changed since HP-UX was installed . The main Network Configuration file is called netconf , but there will be more depending on what network hardware you have installed.
Other network-related files to save are:
/etc/hosts
/etc/inetd.conf
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/ntp.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/services
# Everything in the directory
/etc/mail
Again, sort /etc by modification date and and look for files which have changed since the system was installed (particularly files with extension .conf).
Save a copy of /etc/mnttab (the list of current mounted filesystems) for comparision.
As for the full backup, as well as making an Ignite backup as advised you may need to backup other filesystems which are excluded from the Ignite backup.
How do you normally back your system up?

UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8) Debian GNU/Linux UPDATE-RCCONF-GUIDE(8)
NAME
update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf
SYNOPSIS
update-rcconf-guide
DESCRIPTION
Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses.
Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d directory from dpkg info
files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in
priority to the description if service files has Short-Description field. Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file.
You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand. Rcconf refers Guides in /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those
in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default.
If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh
guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services.
Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf
package.
FILE
/var/lib/rcconf/guide.default
Guide File update-rcconf-guide generates.
/var/lib/rcconf/guide
Guide File user(Administrator) can define.
