Yes it worked just fine. I'm assuming if it didn't I would have gotten a connection error? I was more worried about the data being corrupt. I downloaded the newest manual and it somewhat differs from that older article. Thanks for your response StephenB

The backup would have failed - not sure what the error would be.
Thanks for posting back, it's good to know that workaround is no longer needed.
