You assume correctly...
You need to use the help > debug interface > console (sorry, i translated this, my wallet is in my local language)
In the console, you can export your private keys, but be carefull not to expose them!

Do not export your 100+ private keys and write them on paper, just make one or more good backups of the encrypted wallet.dat. If you need something you can backup on paper use an HD wallet and write down the seed. Keep in mind that you have to do regular backups with bitcoin core as the wallet keeps only ~100 address and private keys pregenerated for you.

How do you mean expose? just as in someone physically seeing them?

Any other mistakes that can be made or is this a simple process?

Indeed, physically seeing them, or malware stealing them... But personally, i would follow shorena's advice... I blindly pointed you to the console, without questioning why you would want to export a list of private keys...

The biggest mistake would be to expose your keys in any way OR not using a HD wallet, and forgetting to export the keys for any new addresses that get generated in the future...

All in all, read shorena's advice, it's more helpfull than mine

If you look in Bitcoin Core's menu, you will see the Backup feature. It is that easy.
