Yes, it will mess the stuff up. I made a program specific routine to save
a simple database program's (using David Cuny's TextGUI) data to a file.
All you have to do is go through the sequence and test for a \", then
insert a \\ before it. Here is some untested and unoptimized code that
should get the job done:

integer something

something = -1
while 1 do
    something = find('\"', data[something+2..length(data)])
    if something then
        data = data[1..something-1] & '\\' &
data[something..length(something)]
    else
        exit
    end if
end while
