The IRMIS relational database application for EPICS is another way to take accelerator snapshots.

Not sure what type of backup you are considering.
Here's a couple tools or methods:

* persistence of PVs across IOC reboots: autosave, from synApps
* snapshots of a set of PVs at regular times: SDDS files
* time-series display of PVs: various including SDDS or rrdtool
