Don't backup while logged into FileVault

Ah yes, I'd read that, but forgotten...

Quote:
If you’re using FileVault, your home folder and all its data is stored in a
single, large file that’s open and active when you’re logged in. Because
of this, you should create a non-FileVault account for use with
SuperDuper! Then, log out of your FileVaulted account, into this new
account, and run SuperDuper! from there. This ensures that the
special FileVault volume is put away and backed up cleanly.
Can I log into a second (non-FileVault admin) account and back up over my existing backup? Or is that likely to cause problems?

So I should trash my "unclean" backup because I've created it while logged into FileVault, login to my second (non-FileVault admin) account and backup from scratch using that?
