A liferay backup consists of two things:

  1. A database backup.
  2. A doc lib backup, typically from the filesystem.


There is nothing in Liferay to do this backup for you. It is very much dependent upon the DB you choose and how you are storing docs. So it is up to you to build the process to back these up.

Just use regular mysql facilities to make the backup.

Use mysqldump:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysqldump-sql-format.html
AND create a copy of the data/document_library folder (I usually rsync it somewhere since changes are usually minor and copying everything takes a while).
Note: There is some danger that files are added/deleted while you copy the files. So it is best to do this outside office hours, when nobody uploads/deletes new documents.
