First you should look into DBI configuration for the path of "Save backup folder":

if the folder do not exist you can not create backups, create the folder or change the path to a existent folder.

Also on DBI you can:

Use the MTP responder then from a PC using USB connect to console, you will be presented with the "switch" MTP device which have several folders, one is saves:

Inside you will find each game savegames for installed or uninstalled games:

and inside there is a folder for each game, inside that folder you will find folders for each profile (and for system, cache and BCAT if available):

You can backup that folder(s) or replace the files if you like.
Post automatically merged:

But as Linuxares told you, JKSV is the best Game Save manager, you can keep several backup versions, sync them to GDrive, a graphical and intuitive gui, so give it a try.

Also I use the FTPD sysmodule from https://github.com/cathery/sys-ftpd so I always can connect and transfer files from the console without running any homebrew.

The zipfipe created by dbi contains files prefixed with a \ , windows can't deal with this properly. I can extract all the files, but i can't put the main file back in this \ folder in the file. Maybe I'm stupid but I can use some help...
