Was just able to use Safe Backup to backup my data to my 32GB microSD card. Did not expect to be able to do this since I found out that there was no way to move apps to the card without rooting.

You didn't move your apps to the MSD, you made a backup copy of them on the MSD. If anything happens to the originals, you'll have to restore the backups to the system memory in order to run them. The apps won't run off the MSD.

Yes, I know. I wanted to backup. I know that Link2SD moves them to the SD card and allows execution from there, but it requires the tablet to be rooted. Don' t want to root my tablet. Based on previous discussions I was not expecting the write capability. I assumed the card was read only. Pleasant surprise.
