GUIDE: How to back up your bank file
STEP 1
Head to the directory where the bank file is stored
Windows location
Mac location
STEP 2
Copy the "Mbank13.SC2BANK" file into wherever you think would be safe or convenient for you, such as;
- Cloud Storage services (Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud, etc)
- A flash drive/External HDD
- Another computer/laptop
Pro-Tip
You can use software such as "Everyday Auto Backup"(suggested by Sureiya) to automatically copy the banks file/folder at set intervals of time to another location.
To Restore your Bank
Put the "Mbank13.SC2BANK" data back into your StarCraft II installation, go to the same directory from step 1 and replace the "Mbank13.SC2BANK" there with your backup copy.

Re: GUIDE: How to back up your bank file
I'd like to add that you cannot transfer your bank information from one realm (for example, EU) to another via this method. If you do that, it'll likely identify your bank as hacked and will wipe it.
You should also never, ever tamper with the text file within the bank directly. It can result in unintended behaviour. I think C/Ping from one (backed-up) bank (the entire text file itself) to your actual bank might work, as I recall doing that before, but I'm not sure and I would advise against doing it.

Updated guide to only backup the MBank13.SC2BANK file so it's less confusing. Updated macOS instructions to be less antiquated.
