I thought maybe it'd be easier to back up just the banner tables in case something goes wrong with my upgrade. Sadly, I have little knowledge of database related things.

You are fine with this daily backup. In worst case you would ask your hosting provider to restore those one or two tables. There is however no event I could recall that critical. With upgrading (no reinstall) the product there is no logical way to loose any data and backup is just a precaution you already have on a daily basis.
