Never made a backup of vbulletin - ever

Believe it or not, I have never made a backup of my vBulletin, basically because I never understood how. So here's my question...

I've seen various programs like MySQLDumper and others that do some sort of backup. What I want to know is why can't I just FTP the files to my local hard drive using FileZilla or similar? Does this work for making a backup? or is there other things that also have to happen?

Secondly, is there any instruction for someone that hasn't a clue about making backup? ie instructions that are totally written for someone that doesn't know what the heck their doing?

It's funny because I can install mods, but that's only because they tell you word-for-word on how to do it. Example: Find this code, and place this underneath.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
