iTunes isn't being switched off, it's only being replaced on macOS Catalina with three separate apps. If you don't update to Catalina things stay as they currently are.

In Catalana backing up (and syncing) will be done via Finder : About the upcoming changes with iTunes on Mac - Apple Support

The backup/restore/sync options that currently are done via the iTunes app on a Mac will now be part of the Finder app on the Mac. Things won't change if you're using iTunes on a Windows computer.

Backup up and restoring an iPhone to/from iCloud will not be changed by the changes to the macOS iTunes app.
