I don't know exactly what you want. If you just want to change the root of XOOPS from :Example: http://www.change.com/XoopsOld to http://www.change.com You only have to move the files to the new directory and then edit mainfile.php (that's in the root)
Quote:
// XOOPS Physical Path
// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/data/members/paid/r/a/rainbowshaman.com/htdocs/www');

// XOOPS Virtual Path (URL)
// Virtual path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.rainbowshaman.com');

// Database
// Choose the database to be used
define('XOOPS_DB_TYPE', 'mysql');

// Table Prefix
// This prefix will be added to all new tables created to avoid name conflict in the database. If you are unsure, just use the default 'xoops'.
define('XOOPS_DB_PREFIX', 'xoops');
So you only need to change the virtual and the physical path.
If you installed allready a XOOPS version here, then you also have to look at the name of the database and change that eventually.

The backup module makes a backup of the database, not of the files on your server.
You can also make a backup yourself if you have for instance phpadmin on your Cpanel.
I've described this somewhere else, just search for backup
