Hi, I'm not familiar with the tech side so i ask for your help. I have a component installed on my Joomla website to backup the whole site including database but unfortunalty its not working now so how can i back up my Joomla website without using third parties software? Please help Thanks
If you are using cPanel as a hosting control panel, you can generate full backup (web site, databases, emails) and download it in your local computer. If it doesn't work then you can manually download the web site contents via FTP and take the backup of your MySQL database from PHPMyadmin (or other interface which you are using). Kailash
You can use something like phpmyadmin to make database dump of your database, then just copy the rest of the website using ftp, over to your computer, depends on your install you might also want to copy the data directory of mysql. if you have ssh access to your hosting you can use mysql dump command
