no, it's not the same thing. I'm talking about the ability to back up shielded addresses
It is currently not possible to export/import private keys for shielded addresses. The reason is that the underlaying Zcash core has a bug (as far as I know) and coins from imported shielded priv keys are unspendable. Because of that, we decided to offer only export/import for transparent addresses. I hope the 2.0 release fixes these issues.
