    There are two ways to back up your WordPress website: one is using a WordPress plugin, and the second is doing it manually.

    There are so many plugins available, like BackWPup, UpdraftPlus, All-in-One WP Migration, and Jetpack.



    --> Manual Backup:

    First, back up all your files.
    • Connect to your site via cPanel.
    • Navigate to Files >> File Manager.
    • Choose public_html.
    • Next, select your website’s folder, then click the ‘Compress’ button at the top of the page.

    • A pop-up window will open, choose ‘Zip Archive’, then click ‘Compress Files’ to create a backup.

    • Once compression is finished, a confirmation message will appear, click ‘Close’ to continue.
    Now you have new .zip file in your public_html folder.
    • Click ‘Download’ at the top to save the backup file to your computer.

    This includes your theme, plugins, uploads, and WordPress core files.



    --> Backup your database
    • Log in to your cPanel.
    • Open phpMyAdmin.
    • Select your WordPress database.
    • Click Export (choose "Quick" and "SQL" format).
    • Download the .sql file to your computer.

      If you're using managed WordPress hosting, your hosting provider usually offers daily backups as part of the service.

      You can contact their support and ask for a backup of your website, or you can restore your backup from their hosting panel also.
