To create a backup of app's own configuration you have three options.
Menu / Help / Export Configuration
Starting with Release 74 it's possible to save app's settings (including all configured backups) in a single .zip file.
See 3rd section in the first post in this thread for details -

Create a dedicated backup job
You will need to add a backup job with the source set to
C:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Local\Bvckup2
destination - to some folder of your choice and the Backup Details section configured as follows -

Also, make sure to set the job to either manual or periodic backup, but not to the real-time one, because latter will cause the job to run continuously as it will trigger itself in a loop.
Enable a self-backup option
To have configuration replicated in real-time you may rely on a self-backup option instead, which basically causes the app to write a copy of each config file into a secondary location every time the principal config file is touched.

Manually copy the configuration files
For a one-time backup you can also just copy main configuration files by hand. In particular, you need to make a copy of the following files:
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\bvckup2.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\bvckup2.lic
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\bvckup2-engine.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\backup-0001\settings.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\backup-0002\settings.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\engine\backup-00 ...\settings.ini
%LocalAppData%\Bvckup2\ui\bvckup2-ui.ini

Restoring app's configuration from a backup
This is a simple matter of
1. Shutting down the app
2. Copying the contents of the backup to %LocalAppData%\Bvckup2
3. Starting the app again
