I am using the "PPSSPP" PSP emulator in Ubuntu but I don't know where the save files are, so I can't create a backup copy.
Does anyone know a method to do so?

The PPSSPP Emulator saves to the memstick\PSP\SAVEDATA subfolder in the PPSSPP directory.
ie. ...\{PPSSPP installed directory}\memstick\PSP\SAVEDATA
If you have built the emulator from source files, it will be located in /home/[user]/.config/ppsspp/PSP/SAVEDATA.
From here you can just copy either the entire folder, or relevant files/folders and then store the copy somewhere else. If you need to restore your backup just move the copy back.
3The saves are at /home/"user"/.config/ppsspp/PSP/SAVEDATA.
.config is a hidden folder so you need to check the necessary options to enter without without the console, right click at your home folder -> "Show hidden files" or something like that on Debian using Cinnamon.
It's different from Windows, where the saved games' folder is in the same folder of the executable. I didn't compile my PPSSPP and I was surprised that I needed to go looking for the saves (PPSSPP v1.5.4).
Hope this helps.
