From the manual:
Backing Up The Database via SSH/Telnet or
Backing Up The Database via phpMyAdmin

If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
MySQLDumper
MySQLHotxcopy
Bigdump

You cannot back up everything necessary from inside vbulletin itself; but you can from cpanel.

She's already given you all the links you need to start learning how to do it, she really can't do much more. Now you have to start learning on your own.
