Make sure that you copy the AmazingCharts Directory on the main computer and burn it or external drive, it can usually be found at c:\program files\Amazing Charts\ this contains your LDF and MDF files that make up your database not to mention all the files that make up AC. Of course you can use that AC backup tool I have never tried it, I personally prefer grabbing everything.
That is a good idea. You will have to stop SQL server to do that. To stop SQL server you go to Search/Services/SQL Server AC/Stop
