Yes, the UCS archive contains SSL certificates and private keys (unless you exclude). If you make amendments to your certificates in your active configuration after the UCS has been created, these changes will not be merged into the existing UCS archives. You would have to create another UCS backup for that.

 

To be on the safe side, just keep a plain-text copy of your current self-signed SSL certificate in addition to the UCS archive.
