There are two different root "schemes" listed on XDA.

I used the toolkit on xda developer:

The one I decided on has restore and backup built in, which the one click does appear to have. I watched the video before doing it and followed the directions in the post. It was very easy. I was surprised, actually.

I did take advantage of the option to install the drivers first (which made it easier, I think). I ran into the one problem they said might happen, but the fix for it was very easy and is right in the post itself. Mostly I was patient.

I'm pretty good at things that take patience, but not necessarily a great deal of skill.
