No, the backup definitely did not work. I reached the part of the instructions where I am supposed to open the Windows PowerShell in the folder where I have the platform-tools extracted. I had trouble getting the "adb connect localhost:{5555}" working - it kept telling me: ADB : The term 'adb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

I went into Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables and added the path in, and then when I went back to the PowerShell, it allowed me to but the "adb connect localhost" in, and gives me this message back: adb.exe: usage: adb connect HOST[:PORT].

But when I try to open cmd.exe and put in "adb backup com.amazon.kindle" I receive the message "WARNING: adb backup is deprecated and may be removed in a future release
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
adb: unable to connect for backup: no devices/emulators found"
