Do you understand that there are three things that you need to back up: 1) the database, 2) moodle data, and 3) the Moodle application?
Explain to us how you plan to backup each of these three. This will help determine how much space you should plan on for backups.
There are many ways to do the backup. Are you familiar with Linux shell scripts? Do you have an SSH client?
Do you understand anything that Ken has suggested?
And yes, there are ways to backup your server files to your local computer. It's really up to you (and your computer skills) where you keep the backups.
How much space is available on your server?
