Hi all just a quick question can you backup EFS without root? I have es file explorer and can see EFS folder can I just copy and paste the folder? I'm fully stock.

No, I don`t think you can.
You should be able to without root in recovery but will have to be unlocked. You can backup efs in twrp or flash the efs backup zip in recovery (twrp or cwm)

How does someone mess up their /efs partition?
Wouldn't you have to deliberately target this partition in some manner? I can only see a risk if someone were flashing a complete twrp backup that includes the /efs partition, but that's about it.
I backed up my /efs via twrp and uploaded it to a cloud storage provider. A few days later, I made a second /efs backup on my sdcard, however I would never think of regularly backing up this partition, as it should never need to be restored.
So yeah... my question is how would someone mess this partition up?

in my 5.5 years of android ive never backed up my efs, ever. but, random stuff happens in life.
^ same here. Been an android superuser since day one.
Backed up the efs on this device, and also my galaxy nexus because twrp allowed me to... Just no idea how one corrupts the partition.

On this phone most symptoms that look like efs corruption aren't but always backup to be safe.
On a samsung, almost everything you do has a 5% risk of efs corruption including powering up the phone

If you're going to back it up. Don't leave it on your internal, copy it to a pc. If you ever do need it chances are that your internal is not going to be accessible.

I just uploaded mine to my Google Drive. Never done it in the past but thought I'd do it this time to be safe!

Is this app ok or do I need to do something different to save the efs ?
I have the 920F .
It's recommended. Just make sure you copy the backup somewhere safe - I keep mine on a USB OTG stick, *and* 2 different cloud storage providers.

Also,how do I flash the .tar files from the backup ? I know I have to use odin,but where should I put the files?
You can select Restore in the app's menu, and it'll explain how to restore.

Thats not possible in the way you'd like to.
You can use a backup tool e.g. Titanium Backup to backup / restore apps
or
extract apps from a nandroid backup (needs "Pro")
Keep in mind that restoring apps to different android versions may potentially cause errors.
