1) I had not enabled clean urls previously coz my host doesnt allow .htaccess files.
Now i am going for an upgrade and can enable clean url.

will that break the functioanlity

Just like the reason why I am enabling Clean Urls' is here
http://drupal.org/node/235473

2) What is the best way to backup the whole website?

My host sucks and it doesnt even have phpmyadmin/anything to backup database.

So is there any module that takes the backup of the whole site inclusing database?

Turning on clean URLs shouldn't cause any issues.

Does your web host provide shell access (SSH)? This would allow you to make a dump of the database which you could then download. There is also the dba module, but I've never tried that myself.

Backup:
tar or zip your drupal directory.
create a backup of Drupal database.

tar or zip those together in an archive and move off the server.

Or you can try one of the modules that does this.
