That note is 4 years old and the related notes will go as far back as 10 years because of your system release / SP level being ancient.
You will be better off with a release upgrade...
You must additionally consider that the master system where you compress from should be on the higher release / SP level within the CUA landscape, so if this system is the highest in the landscape then I doubt it is going to work very well on the backend systems anyway.
