Making/keeping a backup of the database (which for other reading is a different backup than that of the files that serve the store) is a grand idea.
It may take creating a new database with credentials for a new user, to then have the contents of your existing database imported into that new database. Then of course to update the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files as necessary to support using the old content in the new database.
As far as concerns from your side of installing as you go through the zc_install process, don't install to the working good database
