Sorry @dreamy.man but from what I know you have to be rooted.

To root, use MTK Droid Tools by rua1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490

To backup, find oscarblue's post.

There were a few ways mentioned on how to backup.

1) flash cwm and make nandroid backup
2) make a scatter file in mtk droid tools and use sp flash tool somehow. I suggest you read the thread above.

Hope this helps. Press thanks if I helped you

Deep down in my memory there's an app in playstore that can backup your rom without using root. I cant remember the name sorry.

you can use titanium backup but ot also required root

Besides, there is no big harm or risk in rooting y'know. It's flashing that's a whole new story Give it a try!
