This is how I complete a backup. 
bring down the BBS. 
with a usb storage stick, backup the entire mystic directory with the use of windows file explorer. 
After the backup is complete, I delete all of the log files from the bbs that is existing on the hard drive (within mystic- they can grow to be quite large) then I complete the process with maintenance mutil maint from the c:\mystic directory  Then restart the BBS 
* This is is the same practice (backing it up) that I use before any I make any changes.  
Hope this helps.
