I notice there's a store upload and download feature labelled "Complete Store".
I want to verify that by "Complete", does this mean I could just use that to update my live SQL database from my development database?
Currently I'm doing a SQL backup, uploading the backup file and doing a SQL Restore with overwrite. If the data import utility does the same thing, that would be completely cool!

DataClient utility does create an XML data for everything in the store ... but for the purpose of moving from development server to live server I would still recommend you to use the SQL backup/restore that you are currently using.
The reason is that DataClient utility is still in development and there might still be things in the store that are not yet ported completely. Also when using dataclient utility you create an XML data and then recreate the database data from it ... during this process there is a chance we might have missed something.
SQL backup is foolproof compared to this...
