Start Screen / Tile Backup in WP 8.1!

Neowin reports that your start screen, and tile positions are now backed up with 8.1! This is a small thing, but such a useful thing - something I have always dreaded when any hard reset has been needed:

Yes, this is awesome! Before when I did a hard reset, I would take screenshots of my homescreen so that I could replicate the layout when I was done. It wasn't that inconvenient, but this is something that was greatly needed.
