    you have to go to mysql > phpmyadmin(found at the bottom) and export the database

    if you setup a cronjob for regular db backups, you can download them via FTP. otherwise you need to do it from within cPanel.

    I set up a cron job to email me the database backup on a regular basis - works like a charm! Wouldn't recommend it if you're dealing with GB sized databases though!

    There should be a location via FTP where the regular backups are stored - at least from what I can remember
