Yes because with the guide, it will get you from point A to point B with the least amount of hacks. The more hacks you throw in between, the less clean that NAND backup becomes.
Ok. What happens if I backup on 4.1.0, update to current OFW, and later wish to restore using the backup I made? Is this a situation where I must use the method that does not burn fuses?

You would have to update without burning fuses if you wish to restore your backup on 4.1. Otherwise, you have to make a new backup if you update with burnt fuses because your console won't boot with a 4.1 backup and the current number of burnt fuses required on 5.1

Is going online after update w/o burning fuses equivalent to going online after doing an official update?

You're good. It should be around 29 GB in size uncompressed.

Not entirely since you will have less burnt fuses than you should which makes going online with that not 100% safe but no one has been banned yet due to this alone so its considered safe for now.

It's been like 1 week since I read threads, and now I'm totally lost. Could someone give a short list of events that transpired in the week?

Well I've been on the scene for maybe a week, but I'll give it a go lol...

1. N passed out a new uberban on a small number of users for abusing eshop access, they apparently don't have access to system updates.

2. ReiNX was officially announced and has an unofficial release that allows eshop (forgot file extension) backup loading.

3. SX OS 1.4 released

4. I probably missed something or got it all wrong

Outside of what Shourk3n said, it would also help if you told us the last things you remembered about the Switch scene. Its not like we catalog everything that happens here on a calendar or something.

The only thing I recalled was the ktemin drama. Then everyone went off to make their own Atmosphere spin-offs, and then just yesterday was the fake CFW, and now Fake DevMenu.

Oh something else that happened was there was this supposed crack of SX OS released but it was really an irreversible brick code unless you made a full backup beforehand. You can read about it here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/anybody-bricked-with-the-fake-sx-payload.512285/ The end of the thread has a link to the GitHub page of the code used to brick the consoles.

Ahhh, I see now.

Thanks. And I thought the scene is moving way too fast.

virgin switches?

What? I think you're using the word that doesn't mean what you think it means.

Where is the data that the Switch sends to Nintendo stored? If I wasn't online for months started with Emulators and stuff now, and restore a NAND backup before I go online, all traces should be gone shouldn't they?

Hello everyone. I was just wondering, do we have a tutorial for virgin switches? On making nand backups before homebrew use or any cfw?

It's assumed to be stored somewhere in the NAND but there are no tools that can erase that data. And as long the NAND backup was made before you began hacking, all traces should be gone.

Thanks a lot! So, would using or installing homebrew to make a nand backup store any information that would flag the switch for a ban? Or would you be able to run a nand back up before homebrew

Make the NAND backup as soon as possible. The more homebrew and hacks you perform on the console, the greater the risk of getting a ban would become. The bare minimum hack needed to backup the NAND is running the bootloader known as Hekate which is included in that tutorial. Its the first thing it has you do for good reasons outside of avoiding a ban.
