Can I trust the backups? Why would it fail the first time?

Thanks a million.

It should be totally fine, it just needed to log in to back up the database, one thing you could test would either be applying configuration, or, if you want to see output on that process, you can run the following. Let us know if it bails due to login related issues?:
