Right.  If all the tags on the photos in the main Photos view seem OK,

doing so if there's any chance that you still might need the tags on
photos which are Missing.
I'm not sure how to do this - again, backup doesn't feature in the menu
options of 0.72.

See the entry about backing up in the Shotwell FAQ:

http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ#HowcanIbackupmyShotwelllibrary

Does backing up the library involve backing up all the image files as
well as Shotwell's own database?

That's up to you. Shotwell 0.7 never writes to image files (except when the user explicitly asks to move them to the desktop trash), so I think you will probably be fine just backing up the library directory itself if you're performing some adventurous operation in Shotwell and want to be able to go back to the previous state.
