Vanilla is the term modders use to refer to a completely unaltered original installation of the game, or to a completely unaltered original file.
Before modding anything always make sure you have made a back-up copy of the 'vanilla' files you are about to alter.
Before installing a modification it is best to make sure you have made a complete back up copy of the original 'vanilla' installation. Mods that are installed to their own mod folder should not damage your original installation. However it is always sensible to keep a back-up copy of the game to avoid having to un-install and re-install if anything goes wrong.
