Yes. The database will upgrade the content automatically, if needed. If you are upgrading to a new major (as in 4.5.x to 4.6.x), you will need to also rebuild your packages.
2. Does ncs-backup and restore will retain CDB,configurations, service package state awell
Yes, ncs-backup backs up and restores the packages and state as well.

Thanks Jan
It looks like the packages are not backed up,I tried to restore from 4.5.2 to 4.6 and it complains of missing user packages
In a scenario we are restoring in a fresh nso box where we do not have any packages installed restore is going to abort.
ERROR The following entries in the packages directory in the
ERROR backup are symbolic links to non-existing packages
Audit-and- -> /apps/nso/opt/ncs/current/packages/services/Audit-
dm -> apps/nso/opt/ncs/current/packages/services/dm
dmz-sub -> /apps/nso/opt/ncs/current/packages/services/dmz-sub

Well, if you don't keep the packages in the NSO installation directory, but only insert softlinks to wherever you actually keep them, I guess you are right. That would only backup the softlinks.
