Backup via WordPress Management, i.e. WP Toolkit:

Open WordPress Management and click "Backup/Restore" next to your site

In the opened panel, you can view your backups, store them in the server space under the directory /wordpress-backups, and restore them if necessary.

Downloading files and the database to your own computer:

An alternative way to back up your site is to download the files and database directly to your computer. This can be done as follows:

1.Open the file manager

In the file manager, the website files are located in the directory public_html

2.Select the directory by clicking on it to highlight it in blue in the right-hand panel

With the "Compress" button, you can compress the directory into a zip file in the server space

Finally, download the zip file to your computer by clicking on it to highlight it in blue, and then press the "Download" button at the top.

Downloading the database

1.Download the database from phpMyAdmin in cPanel

2.Select the database from the list on the right. Click the "Export" link in the top menu, and download the database as an SQL file by pressing the "Export" button at the bottom of the window
