The monitoring database is located here:
C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Monitoring Database
Stop both PRTG services and then backup the database with a backup solution of your choice. After the backup is done, restart the services.

That history is gone for good I'm afraid. Do you have a backup of your monitoring database? Then you could use configuration backups and restore the database files from the backup. Otherwise, the data is gone :(

Of course, aside from using a backup solution, you could simply copy the files to another drive or folder from time to time or with a scheduled task and a robocopy script. For example this line:
Stop-Service PRTGProbeService robocopy "C:\ProgramData\Paessler\PRTG Network Monitor\Monitoring Database" "D:\PRTGBackup\Database\ /E /ZB /COPYALL /X /LOG+:"D:\PRTGBackup\db.log" Start-Service PRTGProbeService
Note that the probes will continue to monitor their sensors for a few minutes and will deliver monitoring results to the core as soon as it is back online. But alerting will not be available during this period.
This is only a small example and there is no guarantee that it will work for you. Just as a starting point :)
