Loss of data won't be an issue on my Nexus 7.2, but it might well become one on my S4, which I have to root to avoid getting KNOX with the Samsung KitKat rollout.

I'll have a look at Mskip and Wugfresh. Rooting my N7.2 will be my dress rehearsal for rooting the S4.
Carrier, Sim and region locked have nothing to do with rooting and unlocking the bootloader. That just prevents you from unlocking the Sim card. My S3 is still Carrier, Sim and region locked, but rooted and bootloader unlocked. I just checked and I used Mskip's toolkit for my S3 and it has backup capabilities but I never used them.

I'm not updating to 4.3 on my S3 right now because of the KNOX crap either. I'll wait for the xda folks to do their magic first.
