Restore steps

Hi, I've read all the documents on data and backup, just want to make sure I have the proper steps for a full restore (assuming I have a backup of course).

1) Close everything (App, Web, MSWord\with add-in)
2) Rename data folder with Zotero-old for example
3) Restore data folder with backup
4) Start Zotero app, make sure everything looks good
5) Open Web without synching and use Replace Online Library

We're not going to be able to be more explicit than the official instructions, which I assume are what you're following:
