- Log into your cPanel account.
- Go to the “Files” section and click on “Backup.”
- Under “Partial Backups,” you can choose to back up Home Directory, MySQL Databases, Email Forwarders & Filters. Click on “Home Directory” to backup your website files.
- Click on the “Download” button next to the backup you want to create. This will download a .tar.gz file to your computer.
- For databases, click on each database name under “Download a MySQL Database Backup” to download them individually.
