Magento 2.3.x Backup Alternatives?

Magento 2.3.x Backup Alternatives?

Hello,

 

I am brand new to Magento development. I am about to start doing some practicing and learning, but I don't want to have to completely reinstall everything once I inevitably break it. I was reading the docs and have seen that the native Magento Backup Functionality is disabled.

 

I have seen posts about implementing the following command:

 

bin/magento config:set system/backup/functionality_enabled 1

Is this safe?

 

What about this software they recommend - PerconaXtraBackup? Anyone have experience with this? Can I run that command safely, or should I look into alternatives? Do you have suggestions? Thank you!
