Install ADB drivers... Then run Droid Tools and click backup.

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

I can't seem to click 'backup' option is greyed out. I'm able to save my scatter, so I believe the drivers are working...

There are a couple of reasons why it's greyed out. First you need to root.
You can also read back your firmware through SP Flash Tools. See the first steps in How To Make CWM. But it's easier to root and do it through MTK Droid Tools.

Well good you at least tried. You tried all 4 fast root methods?
If all 4 of those failed, then you should flash different firmware or try to build your own CWM recovery...
Do you have MTK6577 or MTK6589?

There's no custom firmwares that work well, so I don't want to lower the features of my phone. I tried all the fast root methods, many don't work after the second reboot my theory is that this ROM has been locked in a way, there's quite a few developer options enabled.
I have MTK6577
