Yes the guides basically tell you to back some things up ... but the details are not there. It merely talks about updating the configuration during the patch update which is what it appears to have been done.
Taking a closer look at the fs I see that:
admin.xml was copied to admin.xml.temp
DSConfig.txt was copied to DSConfig.txt_date_stamped_file
there was even a directory created called "migrated" where DSUserConfig.txt and DSConfig.txt were copied.
AS.xml doesnt appear to have been modified
I was looking for some peeps to validate that is should be all good and any possible mishaps I might want to look for.
