Recovery Mode

Galaxy S3 i9300. Can Boot into recovery mode but there is no option to backup/restore? Just reboot, apply updates, wipe data/cache and apply data?
 
That's because you have stock recovery. Stock recovery only allows you to sideload an update via ADB, wipe cache or factory reset. For backup/restore, you'll need to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. You'd probably need to use Odin, there are lots of guides online on how to do this.
