It looks like it should fit your version, even if it doesn’t backing up manually isin’t hard at all. If you want to back up manually theres is basically 3 easy steps:

directory where you want to keep them.- Login to phpmyadmin panel and export .sql file of your wordpress installation.
- Import downloaded database into your local host phpmyadmin or any way you want, go to wp_options table and change siteurl and home fields of old site to something like
http://localhost/backedupsite - Edit wp-config.php whitch is located in root folder of your wp, change lines 19 to your database name, line 22 to your localhost user (usualy root) and line 25 with your password (usualy empty or root)
