Back up to iCloud or your computer

If you decided to use iCloud, you'll be able to have your iPad Mini automatically backed up for you whenever the screen is locked, the device is charging, and is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Taking the process of backing up a device and making it automatic eliminates any hassles should you break or lose your iPad and have to set a new one up.

Or, you can always use your computer and iTunes to manually back up your iPad Mini. You'll need to connect your device (hopefully on a regular basis) and sync it in order to create a backup.
