Backward Compatability in Yukon using backup devices?

My peers have informed me that I should no longer code my backup routine
using a backup alias via sp_addumpdevice because it is 1) Provided only for
backward compatability and 2) Will not be supported in the future.

Should I not be using a backup alias for these reasons?  Yukon provides the
commands but no where have I seen where it's only there to support backward
compatability and that it is targeted to be phased out.  Can someone show me
this?

Thanks.

I know nothing of dump devices going away any time soon.

Thanx.  Thought so.  My fellow peers
are misinformed.

I'm with Andrew. Ask your colleagues for a reference. It is easy to make claims you can't back up...
