    Wordpress has a really useful default plugin for backing up the whole blog. After I downloaded it, I get a small little .gz file. Is there a proper way to download the backup file?

    Could anyone point me to where can I find some tutorials on how to do that? Thank you.

    The file you downloaded is the right file.UnZip it and you'll see the mysql file.

    You can open it using winzip and the .sql file can be read using notepad or wordpad - text editor.

    i've never used it. I normally just download the files and do a manual db backup.

    There's also a site backup functionality if you have cpanel
