@hfpop: Hence the RP & CRP found in my snapshots thread, which will populate the backup folders appropriately (well, I kind of forgot the bit introduced in 1.14.N, actually, thanks for reminding me ;p).
[That said, the backup is trivial and can be done manually. It has to be restored manually anyway, no matter how you proceed].
Regardless, the backing up part will be fixed in the next snapshots

.
But you got it right, on
fresh systems, using the RP & CRP from my snapshots thread saves you a roundtrip

EDIT: Snapshots updated
