I ment did these other programs include a db backup feature

To say less than LittleBlueThing: no. They copy files and that's it. You'll have to make sure that you have plain files that you can back up. You can't back up the database files directly because the database system may have them in an inconsistent state. That is, you can back up the files, but if you had to restore those files, you'd have to restore the database as if the computer had crashed.
