Why each option
The Managed Metadata Service application can be backed up through the Central Administration Backup and Recovery page, which supports granular service application-level backups.
The Backup and Recovery page in Central Administration provides a granular interface that supports backing up individual service applications, including the Managed Metadata Service, as a self-contained unit with all associated configuration and data. This is the recommended GUI-based method because it captures both the service application databases and the service application proxy associations needed for a complete restore.
SQL Server Management Studio backs up only the raw databases and does not capture SharePoint service application configuration metadata or proxy associations, making a standalone SSMS backup insufficient for full service application recovery.
The Backup-SPFarm cmdlet performs a full or configuration-only farm backup and does not support targeting a single service application for a granular backup.
The Backup-SPSite cmdlet is exclusively designed for site collection backups and cannot back up service applications such as the Managed Metadata Service.
