I welcome any tips on backing up trailers, start a new thread if you want.

I don't think backing up or down steep drives helps a bit. But, if you do it regularly, you will get the knack.
When using the mirrors, just do the opposite of the bottom of the wheel trick, use the top. As mentioned, gentle movements. If the trailer gets more than a few degrees out of line (assuming you're backing up straight) stop and pull forward.
I hate watching someone constantly over correcting and backing up like a snake crawling.
