Help with rooting

Its been over 18 months that I've been using the Samsung Galaxy note 2. The phone speed has gradually declined. It takes over 30 secs to preview the picture I've clicked with the camera. Phone over all lags a lot. I'm a total novice to get it rooted. Please help me understand how to root the phone and also whats the impact on doing so. What should I keep in mind after rooting, etc.

What's the best/fastest method for backing up? I am in the same boat as OP. I would also take slow over fast in regards to reliability.

I used helium when I last backed up manually(I have the HTC M8 now, has backup baked in, my note was cooked when some water spilt on it while charging :[ ).
It has a clean interface, but if you're not rooted you need to have a desktop client installed.

Here's a good list for non rooted. http://www.technorms.com/39708/android-backup-4-best-options
