Of course, if you use your existing backup software with agent base in place, then you should consider to follow the method to backup the system. Or else, you just copy the DB files and revert back from there. either way will work, depend how you want to do this.

Any difference to recover ? Hey, just to ask – is it better to save the db via backup option or like you do by just copying the files out of it ? Any difference to recover ?

If I do compare to my current environment, I had definately exceeded the number above, and yet to reach the 4 GB size on my DB yet. Just to share with you on this.

The data been keep in the DB is related to your virtual center configuration, performance data, update manager DB and etc. If there is too much workload require to be handle by your end, I will suggest you go for the real SQL servers. In term of hang, not much thing you can do from SQL part, but there definitely something you can do on your server and operating system tuning.
