This depends on the kind of backup you want to create.

I suggest the following:

1. Read the sections on the commands "koha-dump" and "koha-run-backups" 
here:

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages

In a Koha standard installation the command "koha-run-backups" in 
"/etc/cron.daily/koha-common" is running by default:

koha-run-backups --days 2 --output /var/spool/koha

So you will finjd your daily backups in directory 
"/var/spool/koha/<instancename>".

2. Watch this video by RAFLIMTS:

Hope this helps.
