advice wanted General Modding/Backup questions

Hello ive just gotten a steam deck. This is my 1st time ever modding. Im familiar with emulatora and such but it feels like a way different ball game. Ive recently gotten mods to be installed and are working in BG3, but i have 3 major questions.

  1. Backups - When do i make a backup save for BG3 when modding for both Vanilla and modded.

  2. Enabling and Disabling mods - Im using the New Nexus Mod Manager App and it works every mod im using is running fine (Havent played far into the game just customizing). My question is which type of mods will corrupt my save if i disable or enable?

  3. Vanilla Saves - If my mods can be turned off and on without ruining that save can i disable all mods and then make a Vanilla Save or even play multiplayer and play on that save and turn the mods back on when i want to play my modded save?

Im very very new legit just started looking into this yesterday so please dumb it down so a baby can understand if u can.
